IMPACT OF IONIZING RADIATION ON HUMAN MICROBIOTA: MECHANISMS AND BIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

Abstract. Radiation exposure under certain conditions affects the cells of living organisms. It is known that we receive radiation every day - in accordance with the natural background, which is natural for us. However, if we are talking about higher doses of radiation, this can be fraught with both radiation sickness and other severe and dangerous pathologies, including malignant diseases. There are radiation doses that do not occur in everyday life and are lethal (we are talking about those that exceed the natural background by tens of thousands of times).
