Commentary: Ethical Issues of Current Health-Protection Policies on Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model of ionizing-radiation-induced cancer is based on the assumption that every radiation dose increment constitutes increased cancer risk for humans. The risk is hypothesized to increase linearly as the total dose increases. While this model is the basis for radiation...
