www.wright.edu › sites › wwwBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION . Ionizing radiation in very high levels is known to increase the incidence of cancer, birth anomalies, erythema, and other problems. In low levels, these effects are either very, very small compared to natural incidences or non-existent depending on the biological model used for estimating the potential risk.
