Abstract People are more often exposed to low as opposed to high doses of ionising radiation (IR). Radiation epidemiology and clinical studies have shown that low dose or low dose rate ionizing radiation are risking to induce cancer and other non-malignant diseases,such as congenital abnormalities, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cataract, etc. Furthermore, low dose or low dose rate radiation could also give risk to benefitial effects for human being. The effects of low dose or low dose rate ionizing radiation on human health are briefly reviewed and discussed.
