Description
English: Schematic representation of different possible extrapolations of measured radiation risks down to very low doses, all of which could, in principle, be consistent with higher-dose epidemiological data. Curve a, linear extrapolation; curve b, downwardly curving (decreasing slope); curve c, upwardly curving (increasing slope); curve d, threshold; curve e, hormetic.
Français : Représentation schématique de différentes extrapolations de l'excès relatif de risque vers les faibles doses d'irradiation, toutes compatibles, en principe, avec les données épidémiologiques sur les fortes doses. (a) Extrapolation linéaire. (b) Supralinéaire en n (pente diminuant avec la dose). (c) Courbe en J (pente augmentant avec la dose). (d) Linéaire à effet de seuil. (e) Hormèse, effet inverse des faibles doses.
