IARC Study Supports Current Standards
Overall, the study concluded, “[The] findings are statistically compatible with the current bases for radiation protection standards.”
“These results provide the most precise and comprehensive direct estimates of cancer risk after protracted exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation,” said IARC Director Dr. Peter Boyle. “[T]hey strengthen the scientific basis of radiation protection standards for environmental, occupational and medical diagnostic exposures.”
Conclusion
Taken together, the BEIR VII and IARC reports uphold the scientific foundation of our nation’s radiation safety standards.
