Uit de publicatie:
Data on the effects of chronic exposure of the human lens to low dose rates of ionizing radiation are lacking. Detectable but minor degrees of lens opacification have been reported in radiosensitive species, such as the mouse, 166 but the relationship of such changes to cataract formation in this or other species, such as man, has not been established. The incidence of minor non-vision- impairing lens changes has been reported to increase linearly with age in man, 33 but such alterations have not been shown to be related to cataract formation. In general, the RBE for high-LET radiation for single cataractogenic exposures hasbeen found to be in the range of 2-9, and the RBE for protracted exposures is assumed to be somewhat higher. A quality factor of 10 has thus been proposed for lifetime exposure of the lens. 79
