1 Ιαν 2014 · Estimating the biological effects of low doses is complex, and lifetime cancer risk varies according to several factors, mainly radiation dose, duration of exposure, age at the time of exposure, sex, general health, and cancer site.
20 Οκτ 2022 · The seven low-dose exposure sources described in this chapter involve different types of ionizing radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, and gamma radiation), routes of exposure (internal and external), and durations of exposure (acute or protracted), as summarized in Table 2.1.
Exposure to ionizing radiation may cause skin and blood damage, cataract, infertility, birth defects and cancer. The probability of radiation adverse health effects is proportional to the dose received, but no level of radiation exposure is completely safe.
