Chance of cancer with radiation exposure help?
If i were do receive 32.5 mSv of effective dose what is the probability that i die of cancer.
I need a graph or something to help me but i cant find any.
Thanks for the help.
Isaac Asimov predicted that radiation from carbon fourteen, which exists in all living things, could be the cause of cell mutation leading to cancers in humans.
Very very low

Perhaps a 0.5% increase in the chance of getting cancer, although dying from cancer is not a given
