If you have health concerns after learning about the global fallout study, you may want to

  • Talk to your doctor or other health care provider. Your health care provider can discuss the signs and symptoms of various cancers and other health conditions with you.
  • Contact organizations that provide information about cancer and thyroid disease. The National Cancer Institute has several publications and a Web site addressing radioactive iodine (I-131) from Nevada Test Site fallout. You can access the web site at www.cancer.gov/I131 or call 1-800-4-CANCER for information and print materials.

    The Web site of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, provides links to several organizations concerned with thyroid disease. This site is at www.niddk.nih.gov/health/endo/pubs/endorg/endorg.htm.
