  3. Hipótesis del Umbral No Lineal (UNL) Extrapolación lineal de incidencia de Eventos en relación a la dosis de exposición (alta vs. baja) • Carcinogénesis • Malformaciones congénitas 1 Gray = 1 Joule de energía de radiación ionizante/Kg de tejido Exposición y riesgo.

  4. Umbral No Lineal • Exposición a bajas dosis: Estimulante Inmunológico. • Definición de límites de exposición: 0.2 R/d en 1934 y 0.3 R/semana en 1951. • Ningúnnivel mayor a los encontrados en la naturalezapuede ser completamenteseguro.

  5. Hiroshima –Nagasaki (H-N) • Exceso de cáncer en Radiólogos Británicos y en sobrevivientes de H-N. • No existe evidencia de exceso de muertes por cáncer ni de exceso de malformaciones congénitas, en sobrevivientes de H-N. • Rango de 0 a 0,5 Gy.

  6. Riesgo en la exposición a radiación • Menor riesgo de muerte por cáncer. • Mayor sobrevida (comparada con otras especialidades). • Control de niveles de radiación. Clarke RH. 2001.

  10. Chernobyl, (IAEA 2005) • 31 trabajadores del reactor nuclear muertos (en los 4 meses posteriores al accidente) • 19 muertos y 106 sobrevivientes con cirrosis hepática, enfisema y otras (18 años)(mortalidad normal/año) • El resto de los trabajadores recibio radiación similar a la población general.

  11. Chernobyl (IAEA 2005) • Se esperan 4000 muertes por cáncer (UNL) • No existió incremento en la mortalidad por radiación • 4000 casos de cáncer de tiroides en el monitoreo inmediato después del accidente, 9 muertes.
