Paternal Radiation Exposure in The Workplace Linked toStillbirth -Reply



Question:  Is this a revelation?  People are surprised to find an
increased risk of stillbirth for a father's exposure of 100 mSv (10 rem)
or more?

[snip]
... Specifically, the risk of stillbirth increased 24%
for each 100 mSv increase in the father's total exposure to external
ionizing radiation before conception.
