The ICRP-2005 recommendations are very similar to its 1990 recommendations.

Generally, living organisms do not respond to ionizing radiation in a linear manner in the range from 1 mGy to more than 300 mGy acute. Their response is bi-phasic. Beneficial health effects are apparent after low doses, and harmful effects are observed after high doses.
