The effective dose is the risk of radiation averaged over the entire body. [4] Ionizing radiation is known to cause cancer in humans. [4] We know this from the Life Span Study, which followed survivors of the atomic bombing in Japan during World War 2. [5] [4] Over 100,000 individuals were followed for 50 years.
The Black Women's Health Study (BWHS) is a long-term observational study conducted at Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center since 1995 to investigate the health problems of black women over a long time period, with the ultimate goal of improving their health. Gaining information about the causes of health problems that affect black ...

English: Radiation Dose Chart by Randall Munroe as part of the webcomic xkcd (SVG version of ). In response to concerns about the radioactivity released by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster:Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, and to remedy what he described as "confusing" reporting on radiation levels in the media, Munroe created a chart of comparative radiation exposure levels.

The energy-depth-dose profile is a curve starting with a surface dose, ascending to the maximum dose in a certain depth d m (usually normalized as 100% dose), then descends slowly through depths of 90% dose (d 90) and 80% dose (d 80), then falls off linearly and relatively sharply though depth of 50% dose (d 50).
The ladies are all pushing 80 -- Mimi is 75, Annette is 72 and Linda is 71 -- but they look decades younger. Not a single one of those women looked over 40, let alone in their 70s.
