This report summarizes the developments in radiation science in
the years leading up to the new millennium, drawn on the main
conclusion of the scientific assessments of the United Nations
Scientific Committee on the Effect of Atomic Radiation
(UNSCEAR).
Volume I comprises of scientific annexes aimed
at the general scientific community, specifically presents
findings on: the dose assessment methodologies, the natural
radiation exposure, the man-made environmental exposure, the
medical radiation exposure, and the occupational radiation
exposure.
Volume II presents the effects of atomic radiation
by providing findings on: DNA repair and mutagenesis;
biological effects at low radiation doses; combined effects of
radiation and other agents; epidemiological evaluation of
radiation-induced cancer; exposures and effects of the
Chernobyl accident.
The publication serves as a unique
scientific basis for estimating radiation risk, establishing
radiation protection and safety standards and regulating
radiation sources. It is recommended for government officials,
scientists, medical specialists and others who are concerned
about the possible hazards of natural and man-made sources of radiation.
