There are no cases of detectable adverse birth outcomes associated with radiation exposure in Fukushima The investigation of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrated no detectable genetic effects, including an increase in cancer risk and other diseases among the offspring (the second generation exposed to radiation) of the survivors. Although several animal studie

The health risks of low-dose radiation is very small Although it is difficult to completely prove/disprove the health effects of low-dose radiation, an effective radiation control measure cannot be constructed based on vague standards. For this reason, radiation control measures are determined based on the hypothesis that the known health effects of high-dose radiation will occur in

The health effects of radiation are overestimated Although we still do not know whether there are some health risks of low-dose radiation, this does not mean that we have no idea about whether low-dose radiation can cause any future health issues. While it is difficult to completely disprove the health impacts of low-dose radiation, the results of prior studies strongly suggest they

Author: Masaharu Tsubokura M.D., PhD. Editors: Akihiko Ozaki M.D.,PhD., Yuki Senoo MUDr. 287. It is impossible to prove the absolute zero health impact of radiation exposure The genetic effects associated with radiation exposure are thought to occur in a "stochastic" manner, which means exposure to a higher dose of radiation increases the probability of adverse genetic effects. In other words, the relationship between the radiation dose and the risk of cancer development is p
