Abstract:Animal experiment findings suggest that high doses of ionizing radiation exposure (>1.0 Gy) may cause genetic and epigenetic effects in offspring. However, epidemiological studies of offspring of radiation-exposed parents did not find increased risks of any health effects. Findings of cellular/experimental investigations and studies of human health effects are contradicting, and further investigations are needed to help resolve ambiguities using updated and/or improved data. This paper provides a detailed d… Show more
