Environmental Chemicals: Evaluating Low-Dose Effects
Around the world, large-scale biomonitoring programs have provided extensive information about human exposure to a large number of environmental chemicals (Barr et al. 2010; Bilau et al. 2008; Churchill et al. 2001; Woodruff et al. 2011). As these programs extend to look at vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, fetuses, and the elderly, our knowledge of the widespread distribution o...
متن کاملGenotoxic effects of high dose rate X‐ray and low dose rate gamma radiation in ApcMin/+ mice
Risk estimates for radiation-induced cancer in humans are based on epidemiological data largely drawn from the Japanese atomic bomb survivor studies, which received an acute high dose rate (HDR) ionising radiation. Limited knowledge exists about the effects of chronic low dose rate (LDR) exposure, particularly with respect to the application of the dose and dose rate effectiveness factor. As pa...
متن کاملMechanistic basis for nonlinear dose-response relationships for low-dose radiation-induced stochastic effects.
The linear nonthreshold (LNT) model plays a central role in low-dose radiation risk assessment for humans. With the LNT model, any radiation exposure is assumed to increase one's risk of cancer. Based on the LNT model, others have predicted tens of thousands of deaths related to environmental exposure to radioactive material from nuclear accidents (e.g., Chernobyl) and fallout from nuclear weap...
متن کاملLow-dose-radiation stimulated natural chemical and biological protection against lung cancer.
Research is being conducted world-wide related to chemoprevention of future lung cancer among smokers. The fact that low doses and dose rates of some sparsely ionizing forms of radiation (e.g., x rays, gamma rays, and beta radiation) stimulate transient natural chemical and biological protection against cancer in high-risk individuals is little known. The cancer preventative properties relate t...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Ionising Radiation
Recent years there have been a number of discussions about the magnitude of the health risks resulting from the exposure to low levels of ionising radiation mainly within the American Health Physics Society, the French Academy of Sciences and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association. Essentially, the debate has centred on the question of linearity, i.e., whether to assume that the probabil...
