The answer is yes but the unknown is how much of a risk because
there are so many variables ranging from exposure level,
exposure type, internal versus external, and health and age of
the person exposed. I am going to post some research findings on
this subject: THE OLD MODEL OF RADIATION EFFECTS HELD THAT
EFFECTS INCREASED IN A LINEAR MANNER WITH DOSE. THE NEW MODEL
CHALLENGES THAT LINEAR EFFECTS FRAMEWORK: Old model assumed only
cells directly subject to radiation were damaged. New model
emphasizes how low-dose radiation can cause indirect damage to
cells through the bystander effect and through genomic
instability. The effects of low-dose ionizing radiation are
variable and can reduce DNA repair mechanisms, operate lethally
on cells or some instances activate them depending upon type of
radiation, chemical environment, etc. “In recent years, several
lines of evidence have been accumulating that low-dose effects
of ionizing radiation involve formerly unexpected cellular
phenomena such as non-targeted and de
