Description
Hyoju Sung and nine co-authors study radiation workers in Korea in a 2025 paper. People who work with radiation absorb small doses over many years. The team asked whether those doses track with changes in blood counts. They linked a national dose registry with worker health exam records.
The study covered more than twenty thousand workers with doses tracked since 1984. Most blood values sat within the normal range. In men, higher total dose linked with small shifts in some blood measures. The team weighed age, smoking, and body weight in their models. They also compared abnormal blood counts with rates in the general public. The work adds long term data to debates on low dose safety at work.
