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 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 ...

A measure of the risk of biological harm is the dose of radiation that the tissues receive. The unit of absorbed radiation dose is the sievert (Sv). Since one sievert is a large quantity, radiation ...

The working conditions of a pregnant worker, after the declaration of pregnancy, should be as such to make it unlikely that the additional dose to the unborn child will exceed about 1 mSv during the ...

Radiation from overused CT scans may be responsible for up to 2% of all cancers annually in the U.S. The radiation dose can ...

Almost instantly, radiation alarms began blaring as the men fell ill. Ouchi was exposed to a shocking 17,000 millisieverts (mSv) of radiation, the highest amount ever recorded by a single individual.

The amount of radiation your body gets is measured in an international unit called a sievert (Sv). Symptoms of radiation sickness show up when you're exposed to levels of more than 500 ...

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 ...

materials occur naturally and, as a result, everyone is exposed to a low-level of radiation every day. This exposure comes from a mixture of natural and man-made sources. The Sievert (Sv ...
