This Led To That

This study in the July issue of Radiation Research Journal (which I don't have access to) led me to find this seemingly similar one.

Let me just tease out a bit from the conclusion:

"However at lower environmental levels of radiation exposure (1–5 mGy) one prompt DSB is induced on average per 20–100 cells. Based on the 4–8 times higher yields of non-DSB clustered DNA damage/Gy as compared with that of DSB/Gy it is postulated that one non-DSB clustered DNA damage is induced on average per 5–20 cells."

And that's why my previous post (on a possible threshold) leads me to conclude someone is ignoring the evidence.
