Radiation hormesis in cancer mortality.

Abstract:

:This review of recent literature presents new concepts to evaluate radiation hormesis in cancer mortality. Using these interpretations cancer mortality rates were found to be significantly reduced following whole body exposure to low doses of either acute or chronic irradiation. The threshold dose, the zero equivalent point (ZEP), provides a definitive limit for public health safety limits in chronic exposures. The ZEP is useful for triage following acute exposures in nuclear disasters.
