A long-term study of Russian nuclear plant workers suggests that prolonged low-dose radiation exposure increases the risk of #hypertension. This study is the first to associate an increased risk of hypertension to low doses of #ionizing radiation among a large group of workers who were chronically exposed over many years. The higher the cumulative dose of radiation, the greater the risk, the study showed. #heartdisease #radiation https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503080554.htm
