View source for Stochastic effects of ionizing radiation

'''Stochastic effects of ionizing radiation''' are such effects that we do not know with certainty that they will manifest themselves after exposure, they manifest themselves only '''with a certain probability'''. This includes an increase in the risk of cancer and hereditary diseases. For doses of ionizing radiation below 100 mSv, the dependence of the additional risk is not entirely clear (different probability models of risk habituation are assumed – linear, linear-quadratic, threshold, increased risk model), for doses above 100 mSv, the increase in risk is linearly dependent on the dose. <ref name='ipvz'>{{Cite

== Additional risk of cancer ==
From doses exceeding 100 mSv, the risk of fatal cancer increases linearly. The nominal coefficient of occurrence of fatal cancer is <math>5 \cdot 10^{-2} \text{Sv}^{-1}</math>. However, this coefficient is dependent on gender and age. <ref name='ipvz' />

== Additional risk of hereditary diseases ==
No additional risk could be demonstrated in first-generation offspring. However, the methodology of the studies conducted may be flawed, so the research is still ongoing. <ref name='ipvz' />
