"Low Level Revision 1 by Radiation, Science, and Health, Inc., 1.2.1 1.2.1.4
|
Professor Emeritus, and Member of
the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), of the Central
Laboratory for Radiological Protection, Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski reports (1995b) on genetic
effects, that: "Part of the information on (unexpected) positive genetic effects of ionizing doses of radiation comes from Hiroshima and Nagasaki...(where data) shows that acute irradiation with moderate doses does not produce any major negative effect on the health of the following generation. "What can be demonstrated, on the other hand, are the positive effects. Among
the children of parents who survived the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki there
were about 4% fewer deaths between 1946 and 1958 than among the children of parents
unexposed to radiation from atomic bombs, 28% less aneuploidy, 29% fewer chromosomal
aberrations, and 30% fewer mutations in blood proteins." |
