Journal ArticleDOI
Very high background radiation areas of Ramsar, Iran: preliminary biological studies.
TL;DR: Inhabitants of high background radiation areas had about 56% the average number of induced chromosomal abnormalities of normal background radiation area inhabitants following this exposure, which suggests that adaptive response might be induced by chronic exposure to natural background radiation as opposed to acute exposure to higher levels of radiation in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer incidence in areas with elevated levels of natural radiation
TL;DR: It can be concluded that prolonged exposure to high levels of natural radiation possibly triggers processes such as the production of antioxidants and repair enzymes, which decreases the frequency of chromosome aberrations and the cancer incidence rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The life saving role of radioadaptive responses in long-term interplanetary space journeys
TL;DR: In this article, it has been estimated that exposure to unpredictable extremely large solar particle events would kill the astronauts without massive shielding in interplanetary space and the high LET component of space radiation, neutrons especially, makes the major contribution to the genetic risks.
