Abstract | |||
The study aims to assess low dose and low dose rate cancer risk in a number of exposed populations, in particular in various groups exposed to near background levels of environmental radiation exposure, and certain low dose diagnostic medical procedures. A part of the project will be concerned with assessment of errors in dose assessments and their impact on evaluations of low dose risk." |
