recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biogerontology"

DOI: 10.1007/s10522-020-09909-4

Abstract: The current linear no-threshold paradigm assumes that any exposure to ionizing radiation carries some risk, thus every effort should be made to maintain the exposures as low as possible. We examined whether background radiation impacts human… read more here.
