Abstract
The increasing knowledge of adverse biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and development of molecular techniques allowing deeper insights into the mechanisms of radiation induced damage, led to controversial scientific debates regarding the effects of very low doses of ionizing radiation. There is a similar situation for exposure to chemical genotoxic agents in daily life. Therefore, nowadays the public is confronted with contradictory announcements of newly discovered health risks every day.
