ABSTRACT

The data on health effects of low LET radiations in dose ranges on standard (UNSCEAR, BEIR, ICRP etc.) ordinal scale (very low doses (up to 0.01 Gy), low doses (0.01–0.1 Gy), moderate doses (0.1–1 Gy), high doses (1–10 Gy) and very high doses (above 10 Gy)) are presented. The radiobiological, cytogenetic, stochastic (solid cancers, leukemia, hereditary changes and tissue pathologies) and deterministic effects were considered. The latest data on various consequences of irradiation in low dose ranges are listed.

Key words: dose ranges of radiation with low LET, low doses, moderate doses, high doses, radiation biology effects, cytogenetic effects, stochastic effects, deterministic effects
