Abstract: Ionizing radiation is considered as a non-threshold carcinogen. However, the mechanism of long-term low-dose ionizing radiation on the body has been very unclear. Radiation workers are the main subjects of long-term exposure to low dose ionizing radiation. Weinvestigated the relevant domestic and foreign literatures in order to clarify the impact of low-dose ionizing radiation on cell level, tissue or organ level, and cancer risk.

Key words: Radiation workers, Low-dose ionizing radiation, Cell level, Tissues and organs, Cancer risk
