Radiation Effects ?Health Physics Society Questions How much radiation does it take to cause a person’s risk for a health effect to increase? What are the health effects that can occur if there is enough exposure? Is there a level of radiation that is safe? Answers There are many thoughts on the answers to these questions and suggested answers lie along a continuum, especially when the topic is low-level radiation. Answers range: From “radiation is good for you” (this is the hormesis hypothesis) To “low levels of radiation are safe” (they do not measurably increase your risk of disease)
