Abstract

The studies of health effects in human populations living in places with high levels of natural background radiation are of crucial importance for understanding the impact of low doses of ionising radiation. The paper reviews some exemplary literature that addresses the likelihood of the radiation-induced cancer in aforementioned regions. It is shown that using Bayesian analysis one can arrive at an essentially different conclusion concerning dose-effect dependence from the one which could be guessed from first glance. The general conclusion is that cancers do not correlate with elevated radiation in regions with high natural background radiation.

高自然本底辐射地区的人类癌症
对生活在自然本底辐射水平高的地方的人口的健康影响进行研究,对于了解低剂量电离辐射的影响至关重要。本文回顾了一些关于上述地区辐射致癌可能性的典型文献。结果表明,利用贝叶斯分析可以得出与乍一看就能猜到的剂量效应依赖关系有本质不同的结论。总的结论是,在天然本底辐射高的地区,癌症与辐射升高无关。
