"This volume reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors and 11 more years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. The committee presents risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure, and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations. They apply their risk estimates to the 1980 U.S. population to project the risk of cancer mortality at low levels of continuous exposure and for acute exposures, and give confidence intervals for these results.BEIR V also examines heritable effects due to parental exposure and the effects of irradiation on the developing fetus; presents risk estimates for heritable effects, which are based primarily on studies with laboratory animals; discusses the role of somatic mutations in the development of radiogenic cancer; and examines studies of those exposed in utero at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which show significant effects on brain development and intelligence."
