- Luigi TOMMASINO (Italian National Agency of Environmental Protection, Via Cassia, 1727, Roma, Italy)
The Universal Radiation Protection System (URPS) has been hypothesized by Sohrabi in order to address the many deficiencies existing in current worker and public exposure monitoring and control[1-3]. This paper while briefly presents the philosophy, concepts, and methodologies of the URPS hypothesis, it emphasizes and proposes a standardized global worker and public exposure monitoring system....
In 1955, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) was established by the United Nations General Assembly to assess and report on the levels, effects and risks of exposure to ionizing radiation for humans and the environment. The Committee is composed today of scientists from 31 Member States of the United Nations.
Its reviews are the scientific...
In 2016, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) established an Expert Group on biological mechanisms relevant for the inference of cancer risks at low doses and low dose-rates. The Committee defines low doses as those of 100 mGy (low LET radiation) or less and low dose-rates, those of 0.1 mGy/minute (low LET radiation) or less. The Expert Group...
