A sound understanding of the mechanisms and processes that drive spontaneous carcinogenesis and radiation-induced carcinogenesis at high doses (>100 mSv) and low doses is required to identify the ...

The individual dose limit for radiation workers averaged over 5 years is 100 mSv, and for members of the general public, is 1 mSv per year. These dose limits have been established based on a prudent ...

No amount of radiation can be considered entirely safe but acceptable limits for staff have been recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and adopted by ...

Although it has been suspected that risk of malignancy rises at even low radiation doses, often defined as ≤100 mSv, the evidence has been limited. To explore this risk with a large body of data ...

The average radiation exposure here on Earth is about 3 mSv per year. Depending on your altitude, about 0.39 mSv (13%) is contributed by cosmic radiation. Flying in an airplane at 12 km altitude ...

More than 100 others at Chernobyl were diagnosed ... You typically get only about 3 mSv -- three one-thousandths of a sievert -- of radiation from these natural sources in a year.
