If it holds, it's 'good' for the scanners because their high power shouldn't be penalized; bad for them because any dosage increases risk.
- lostlogin 12y agoIt is still rather contraversial but radiation hormesis is interesting to read about. Populations have been exposed to relatively high radiation levels from things like the earth (Iran and some places in the US among others), contaminated steel (Taiwan) and various medical procedures. These groups have not fitted into the linear no threshold model very well at all, and there is an argument that low doses may actually be a health advantage. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2664640/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2664640/ Edit: keep the body scanners and bomb scanner away from me please.
