Rationale for nonlinear dose response functions of power greater or less than one. [Relation of multiple stresses to effects of low-dose irradiation in man]

Rationale for nonlinear dose response functions of power greater or less than one. [Relation of multiple stresses to effects of low-dose irradiation in man] [electronic resource]

Risk estimates and radiation protection standards are generally made using a nonthreshold premise and linear extrapolations from existing data to estimate biological radiation effects at lower doses and at lower dose rates. This seems reasonable in light of the variety of shapes of dose-effect relat...
