FUN 1 EO: 1.27

1 / 7

What is a common effect that could result from deterministic (non-stochastic) effects due to radiation exposure?

Reduction in cancer risk

Lowering of blood cell counts

Random occurrence of health issues

Increase in genetic mutations

2 / 7

What distinguishes non-stochastic (deterministic) effects from stochastic effects?

Non-stochastic effects vary with the dose and have a threshold

Non-stochastic effects always lead to cancer and genetic effects

Non-stochastic effects have no chance of occurring below a certain dose

Non-stochastic effects occur by chance and are independent of the dose

3 / 7

Stochastic effects generally occur without:

Any relation to the dose

Any chance of occurring with low exposure

A threshold level of dose

Increasing severity with increasing dose

4 / 7

In the context of radiation, which of the following is an example of a non-stochastic effect?

Cancer development

Genetic mutations

All of the above

Radiation-induced cataract formation

5 / 7

Two examples of stochastic effects in the context of radiation protection are:

Cancer and genetic mutations

Genetic mutations and cataracts

Skin burns and lowering of blood cell counts

Cataracts and skin burns

6 / 7

Which statement is true regarding stochastic effects?

The effects typically result from the collective injury of a few cells

They have a threshold dose below which no effects will occur

The severity of the effect increases as the dose increases

They occur by chance and have no established threshold

7 / 7

What is a characteristic of stochastic effects related to radiation?

Severity of the effect decreases as the dose increases

Severity of the effect is proportional to the dose

Probability of the effect occurring increases with the dose

There is a threshold level of dose for the effect
