Radiation induced cataracts in interventionalists occupationally exposed to ionising radiation [PDF]
South African Journal of Radiology, 2022 Background: Occupational exposure to ionising radiation may have detrimental health effects. Longer and more complex fluoroscopic procedures have placed interventionalists at increased occupational health risks especially for developing cataracts in the ...

Knowledge and perceptions of ionising radiation among Croatian general practitioners: is there cause for concern? [PDF]
Arhiv za Higijenu Rada i ToksikologijuRecent data suggest that general practitioners (GPs) are insufficiently familiar with health risks associated with ionising radiation and radiation doses. The aim of our cross-sectional study was therefore to see if this holds true for Croatian GPs.

Deciphering the molecular landscape of ionising radiation-induced eye damage with the help of genomic data mining [PDF]
Arhiv za Higijenu Rada i ToksikologijuEven at low levels, exposure to ionising radiation can lead to eye damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. We aimed to address this gap with a comprehensive in silico approach to the issue.

The Effects of Ionising and Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Radiation on Extracellular Matrix Proteins
Cells, 2021 Exposure to sub-lethal doses of ionising and non-ionising electromagnetic radiation can impact human health and well-being as a consequence of, for example, the side effects of radiotherapy (therapeutic X-ray exposure) and accelerated skin ageing ...

How do air ions reflect variations in ionising radiation in the lower atmosphere in a boreal forest? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Most of the ion production in the atmosphere is attributed to ionising radiation. In the lower atmosphere, ionising radiation consists mainly of the decay emissions of radon and its progeny, gamma radiation of the terrestrial origin as well as photons
