Abstract
THE long-term effects of low-level chronic irradiation on living organisms have attracted increasing interest in connexion with the observed contamination from man-made radioactive sources over large areas of the Earth's surface. No experimental evidence exists that definite biological changes are induced in a large population under very low continuous exposure.
