Mutagenicity of radiations at low doses [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 The mutagenic effectiveness of low-LET radiations was studied in E. coli Sd-4, with emphasis on low doses. At the lowest dose tested, 0.75 Gy, the mutation frequency per unit dose was found to be highest. It then dropped to an approximately linear curve in the range 5–50 Gy and became again higher at still higher doses.

Low-dose Radiation Exposure and Carcinogenesis [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2012 Absorption of energy from ionizing radiation by the genetic material in the cell leads to damage to DNA, which in turn leads to cell death, chromosome aberrations and gene mutations. While early or deterministic effects result from organ and tissue damage caused by cell killing, latter two are considered to be involved in the initial events that lead ...

Perception of low dose radiation risks among radiation researchers in Korea.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Expert's risk evaluation of radiation exposure strongly influences the public's risk perception. Experts can inform laypersons of significant radiation information including health knowledge based on experimental data.

The Inhibitory Effects of Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation in IgE-Mediated Allergic Responses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ionizing radiation has different biological effects according to dose and dose rate. In particular, the biological effect of low-dose radiation is unclear. Low-dose whole-body gamma irradiation activates immune responses in several ways.

Scientific Risk Estimation on Health Effects of Low Dose and Low Dose-Rate Radiation - An Overview
Data Science Journal, 2009 Estimation of the scientific risks of high dose radiation has been successfully quantified by many studies using several different approaches. However, the risk for low and low dose-rate radiation is obscure because of a lack of evidence.
