title: The carcinogenic effect of solar activity with different intensities on embryos.
abstract: The carcinogenic effects of solar activity with different intensities on embryos were studied epidemiologically. The study reveals that receiving a moderate amount of low level cosmic radiation at embryonic stage may reduce cancer occurrence later. This paper analyses and discusses the mechanisms of this hormetic effect.
