Carcinogenic effects of low-level ionizing radiation: problems and prospects.

Abstract excerpt

For public health purposes, the overall risks of cancer are assumed to increase in proportion to the dose of ionizing radiation, without a threshold. Assessment of the risks that may be attributable to doses below the range in which empirical data are available, however, entails the use of models, the credibility of which depends on the extent to which the models are consistent with what is known about the...
