«Long-lasting effects can show late and are caused by continuous permanent exposure to small doses of ionizing radiation that adds up in time».
«They include the shortening of life expectancy and a high chance of developing blood cancer (leukemia) and bone cancer (osteosarcoma) as early as two years from exposure.
«Statistically breast cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer are frequent and can be developed after a longer time from the actual exposure, over 5 years. There hasn’t been any evidence until today that ionizing radiation can cause chronic lymphocytic, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and cervical cancer. Localized long-lasting skin damage (radiodermatitis) and eye damage (cataract) can also appear».
