Humans and animals have been exposed to blue light since the dawn of time, we have all felt the positive benefits of the sun on our mood or state of mind, however in more recent years the levels of our exposure to blue light has risen due to the introduction of LED's (Light emitting diodes) and our increasing use of devises such as laptops, mobile phones and e-readers The ...
A concept of the complete dose-response curve of ionising radiation will allow us to live in harmony with this ubiquitous agent. Convincing data show ionising radiation is essential for life. Ambient levels of ionising radiation (about 2 mSv/y without medical and cosmic radiation) are adequate for life but insufficient for abundant health. We live with a partial deficiency of ionising radiation. ...
Through various researches and investigations it has been established that high doses of ionising radiation are harmful to health. There is substantial controversy regarding the effects of low doses of ionising radiation despite the large amount of work carried out (both laboratory and epidemiological). According to the linear no-threshold hypothesis, any amount, however small, of radiation is ...
Radiation hormesis is the stimulatory or beneficial effect of low doses of ionising radiation. Data from animal experiments and human experiences suggest common mechanisms of the protective role of hormesis in radiation induced cancer. Through various studies, it is established that whole body exposure to low-level ionising radiation (LLIR) decreases overall cancer incidence (the most important ...
