Scientists do not know whether low levels of radiation exposure carry health risks

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


True. Much of our knowledge base regarding the negative effects of exposure to radiation comes from extrapolated data using high doses and dose rates. Scientists do not know whether a threshold level exists, below which radiation would be safe. To err on the side of caution, the radiation protection community assumes that any dose of radiation may pose a risk.
