ICRP 62 [20] recommended that the maximum radiation dose that causes a 'minor to intermediate' increase of risk levels while preserving social benefit levels that are 'intermediate to moderate' has an effective limit of 10 mSv/year [20, 21].
Unlike in our study, their follow-up schedule was not for the 3-month mark; pseudoprogression started earlier, and they did not mention the standard dose when the usual maximum radiation dose in that period (1992 2008) was different in Gamma Knife centers (ranging from 11 to 40 Gy with a mean of 16 Gy).
A plume of radiation that threatens America's West Coast!
Animal studies from the University of Michigan and MD Anderson Cancer Center suggest that maximum radiation sensitisation with gemcitabine is achieved with a lower dose administered twice-weekly (Mason et al, 1999; Fields et al, 2000).
The Federal Communications Commission has set standards for the maximum amount of microwave, or radiofrequency, radiation that cell phones can emit.
Ecologist and co-author Piet Verburg of the University of Georgia, Augusta, says the spike in solar radiation that precedes a solar maximum might somehow cause a complex mix of atmospheric changes and warming in the Indian Ocean that intensifies East African rainfall, an effect that diminishes before the actual solar maximum arrives.
He said that while the government set maximum radiation exposure limits for plant workers at 250 millisieverts per year, his company set its own standard of 20 millisieverts.
It should be noted that we use AP8/AE8 model fluxes at the magnetic equator where the maximum radiation fluxes exist.
On the other hand, Tanaka et al. reported that the gonad was exposed to only 0.05 0.07 mGy (0.01 % of the maximum radiation dose to the head) when the head was exposed to a radiation dose of 800 mGy.
The energy radiated at different wavelengths is a maximum at a wavelength that depends on the temperature of the body; the hotter the body, the shorter the wavelength for maximum radiation.
