The collective findings from recent studies indicate that long-term low-dose radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk of cancer and potentially other health issues. While the linear no-threshold model remains a cornerstone of radiation protection, there are ongoing debates and uncertainties about the exact nature of low-dose radiation effects. Continued research and monitoring are essential to better understand these risks and to inform public health policies and radiation protection standards.
