This video, Radiation and Health, is based on ICRP ideology that has been
developed since 1956. It does not described the real effects of radiation
on organisms. It does not mention the spontaneous rate of DNA damage. It
does not explain the effect of radiation on the adaptive protection
systems—their up-regulation by a low dose to produce beneficial health
effects and their inhibition by a high dose to produce harmful effects.
There is no mention of the threshold dose, above which the health effects
change from beneficial to harmful.
It’s time for the authorities to communicate good science instead of
politicized science. There is better information on radiation and health

A good video to explain everyday radiation sources.
