Abstract
The effects of EQ exposure are detailed focusing the evaluation of the effects of low-dose exposure and their mitigation. Based on principal damage formation caused by nuclear collision and electron excitation under EQ exposure, the effects of EQ exposure are summarized separately for inorganic- and organic materials, and living beings. Since organs and tissues of human beings have resilience to EQ exposure causing recovery, the appearance of the effects of EQ exposure is different depending on where or what kind of organs in a human body is exposed.
