Vanishing by Design of Cancer Risk Uncertainty for Low Radiation Doses Is Misleading and Unscientific

Potential Radiological Problems in the Ukrainian War Zone and Challenges for Related Health Risks Assessments

“…In establishing an approach to use in addressing health risks for low radiation doses to humans, researchers need to take into consideration that unlike animal-studies data, epidemiologic-studies data for humans are very noisy (wider stochastic error distributions) 5 so that any risk estimates generated using such data likely involve large errors. 5 , 6 Animal-studies data with smaller errors (for radiation doses and biological effects) than epidemiologic-studies data could be used in improving modeling methods employed in epidemiologic studies and in testing reliability of cancer risk predictions for low radiation doses.…”
