Epidemiological surveys on the effects of low-level radiation dose: a comparative assessment. V. B

The health effects of low-level doses of intra-uterine radiation are considered by reference to 40 published epidemiological surveys. The work was carried out to provide a comprehensive and critical review of the subject, and to seek consistent indications of particular health effects by collating results and comparing with those from surveys at moderate-level doses. Topics considered are:- brain growth and development, childhood malignancies and congenital abnormalities, mortality, colouring and eye abnormalities, growth, morbidity. (author)
