58. Your posts are silly and meaningless.

You have proved nothing.

You don’t have a clue as to what you are writing about.

Those are dose limits.

Those radiation levels have been determined to be acceptable.

There is no way any one can work around ionizing radiation and not be exposed. There is no way any one can get a chest x-ray and not get radiation.

These numbers were derived from the linear no-threshold (LNT) theory.

According to LNT theory:
1-The effects of low doses of ionizing radiation can be estimated by linear extrapolation from effects observed by linear extrapolation from effects observed by high doses.
2-There is not any safe dose because even very low doses of ionizing radiation produce some biological effect.

Based on the LNT theory, those dose limits are statistically acceptable to society.

Those numbers have absolutely nothing to do with radiation hormesis, & zero-risk threshold…absolutely nothing…you have proved nothing.

But thanks for giving LNT and it's aplication an introduction.
