We live in a sea of ionizing radiation. Every second our body is being
bombarded by ionizing radiation from the decay of radionuclies in the rocks,
radioactive isotopes of carbon and nitrogen from the air and from cosmic
rays. Our bodies are evidently adapted to survival in this environment.
Diagnostic x-rays only add a few percent to this radiation dose.
