Oral history interview with Niels Schonbeck, [electronic resource] / interviewed by Robert Del Tredici and LeRoy Moore, 1997. 1997.

Biochemist Niels Schonbeck discusses the work of Edward Martell, who first studied radiation in tobacco/cigarettes and then alerted the public to environmental radiation that came from activities and accidents at Rocky Flats. Martell took soil-sample measurements after the 1969 fire and demonstrated that plutonium, present in alarming amounts, was emitted from the plant. In this interview Schonbeck explains correlations between radiation and cancer and aging, and also talks about the causal relationship between oxygen and aging, which has been a focus of his own study and writing.
