Abstract excerpt
Populations residing in high-level natural radiation areas (HLNRA) along the monazite-rich coastal belt of Kerala, India, are chronically exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation, with lifetime cumulative doses exceeding 1000 mGy. Although the biological effects of acute high-dose exposures are well established, the long-term health consequences of chronic low-dose or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation (LDIR) remain...
