More than 275,000 bikers converged on the City for the 50th annual Black Hills motor classic. At the event which has been run since 1940, includes races Tours and general Good  waste poisoning Leningrad area Moscow up1 a a Survey of radiation contamination in Leningrad found 150,000 spots where Levels were above Normal and a newspaper complained saturday that officials were slow in warning residents of the danger. Komsomol Skaya pravda said the most hazardous areas were initially roped off with signs that said Quot radioactive a but later the ropes were removed. A map showing All the areas with High radiation has not been made Public the paper said. Specific radiation Levels were not Given and it was unclear How Many of the nearly 5 million residents of the soviet unions second largest City were exposed to dangerous radiation. Most of the radiation is from businesses that use radioactive materials and have no place to dispose of hazardous wastes. The newspaper said that there is one nuclear disposal site near the City but that it has limited capacity and cannot handle most commercial waste because of the amount of nuclear Power Plant waste dumped there. A slow leak has also been discovered at the Sosnovy Morskoe disposal site Komsomol Skaya pravda said and soil in the area is slowly being contaminated As Well As Runoff water that ends up in the Gulf of Finland. Because of the Lack of proper disposal facilities businesses  forced to handle hazardous waste themselves. The paper said a medical Laboratory studying the effect of radiation on animals simply burned the animals who died from radiation and scattered the ashes around the Laboratory a Yard. In another Case it was discovered that a House was built on the site of a City rubbish Heap where radioactive waste bad been buried. A the list of cases is endless a the newspaper said. A enterprises working with radioactive materials continue successfully to contaminate the  the Survey by the radiation safely Agency found 5.3 million cubic feet of contaminated soil in the City and Komsomol Skaya pravda said the City has allocated rubles totalling $3.2 million for the cleanup a although nobody wants another waste disposal site built in their neighbourhood. A what to do a the newspaper asked. A it is possible to pretend As we have done for Many years that there  no contaminated zones in the City but the soil from those zones can easily go to our children a playgrounds or be used under a House where we might  links Low cholesterol to violence suicide London apr men with lower cholesterol have a greater than average Chance of death from accidents suicide or violence according to a report published Friday in the British journal of Medicine. University of Pittsburgh researchers found a a highly significant association Between lowered cholesterol Levels and higher death rates from suicide accidents or violence in their analysis of six previous studies. The authors found no plausible explanation for the results but suggested that it could be due to mood changes or cognitive functions such As concentration brought bout by alterations in lifelong eating or behavioural patterns. A there is some experimental evidence that modify ing the fat in the diet has both Neur chemical and behavioural consequences a the study said. The medical director of the British heart foundation or. Desmond Julian said the investigations Analysed in the report were Well known studies and the analysis was accurate. Blit Julian said a it s something we should think about seriously but not alter our present recommendations for a Low cholesterol  further study is needed the researchers said but they suggested that advice to lower cholesterol Levels should be targeted toward those susceptible to coronary heart disease As opposed to the population As a whole. Quot whatever the explanation for the increased mortal Ity not related to illness these observations suggest that interventions to lower cholesterol concentrations do not have a robust favourable effect on Overall survival. The report said. I he report said experiments had found that monkeys on Low fat  were significantly More aggressive than monkeys eating diets High in lat and cholesterol. The researchers sail their findings Luo k up previous studies that reported lower cholesterol Levels among criminals people  violent or aggressive conduct disorders Homicidal offenders and people with Low self control. I he report said the findings occurred in people who had lowered  i hot Lester  diet ar.,1 Hose who had redux  i  Levels by drug treatments
