From the publication:
Facts about low-level radiation The effects of large doses of radiation are well-documented and understood, but there is less certainty about the effects of exposure to low-level radiation. This leaflet attempts to answer some of the questions people often ask. Do the regulations governing radiation exposure provide adequate protection? Can we not simply avoid being exposed to radiation and thereby eliminate risk? Is radiation uniquely hazardous or do other factors enter the picture and, if so, how important are they? What overall risks do we face? How concerned should we be about low-level radiation?
