RESUMO
Many biological mechanisms of aging well converge with radiation's biological effects. We used scientific insights from the field of aging to establish a novel hypoxic-hypercapnic environment (HHE) concept for radioprotection. According to this concept, HHE which possesses an anti-aging and longevity-promoting potential, should also act as a radiomitigator and radioprotector. As such, it might contribute greatly to the safety and wellbeing of individuals exposed to high levels of radiation, whether in planned events (e.g. astronauts) or in unplanned events (e.g. first responders in nuclear accidents).
