This review article examines current scientific understanding of the impact of low-dose chronic radiation exposure on public health from a preventive medicine perspective. The main sources of chronic ionizing radiation are analyzed, including natural background radiation, medical diagnostic procedures, and man-made factors. Particular attention is paid to the biological effects of low-dose radiation, their role in the formation of somatic and stochastic effects, and the uncertainties of dose-response relationships. Data from epidemiological studies reflecting the long-term consequences of long-term exposure to low doses of radiation are discussed. Preventive aspects of radiation protection are considered, including the principles of dose optimization, monitoring of radiation factors, and public awareness. It is shown that a comprehensive preventive approach is key to minimizing radiation risks and maintaining public health.
