These glasses have shown to be versatile retrospective dosimeters in medical and industrial settings, providing great spatial resolution, sensitivity, and water resistance. A review analyzing the retrospective applications of the glass has been conducted, emphasizing the potential of these materials in measuring unintentional radiation exposures. The novelty of this work lies in providing a comparative framework linking thermoluminescence (TL) response, effective atomic number (Z<sub>eff</sub>), dose-response behavior, and radiation-induced structural alterations across multiple glass materials. The relevant scientific research was rigorously assessed to compare thermoluminescence (TL) response, effective atomic number (Z<sub>eff</sub>), dose response, and radiation-induced structural alterations in glass materials. From the review, effective atomic numbers ranged from 9.23 to 15.1, strongly aligning with the Z<sub>eff</sub> of bone, indicating the potential of glass materials as bone-equivalent retrospective dosimeters. The dose-response relationship demonstrates that TL intensity exhibits the most significant correlation with the administered dose and glow curve occurring between 150 to 273 °C, indicating stable charge trapping and recombination processes. Morphological and structural analysis confirmed the dose dependent structural alteration of the glass samples. Despite certain constraints, such as long-term stability, optical bleaching, and dependable dose reconstruction, glasses exhibit potential efficacy as a retrospective dosimeter. This study incorporates thermoluminescence, effective atomic number, and dose-induced structural evolution in a cohesive framework, providing a comprehensive comparative analysis to improve the understanding of glass-based materials as bone-equivalent retrospective dosimeters for post-accidental radiation evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":"24 1","pages":"15593258261441391"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13039599/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147607540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we objectively review the specific details of iodine-129 as a radiation hazard. In contrast with the alarmist tone of these recent papers and news items, we conclude that iodine-129 is not nearly as concerning as has been projected. Rather, it appears to be a classic case of \"much ado about nothing\".</p>","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":"24 1","pages":"15593258261420242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12833141/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146060811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
