Dr. Bernard Cohen

Dr. Bernard Cohen was an American physicist known for his work in radiation health and safety. He gained recognition for his research on the risks of low-level radiation exposure, challenging the notion that even minimal doses were always harmful. Cohen developed studies, particularly on radon gas in homes, to assess its health impacts, ultimately advocating for a more nuanced understanding of radiation risks. His findings offered valuable insights into public health policies regarding radiation exposure and contributed to ongoing discussions about safety standards in various industries, emphasizing the importance of scientific evidence in evaluating health risks.
