The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) assesses the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. UNSCEAR's scientific findings underpin radiation risk evaluation and international protection standards. This report comprises a report to the General Assembly with scientific annexes. The report is a landmark publication in terms of our understanding of the confidence that can be attached to the attribution of health effects in individuals and populations, and to the estimation of risks inferred from exposure to ionizing radiation
Note:
List of scientific experts who have co-operated with the Committee in the preparation of the report -- List of scientific experts, members of national delegations -- Comparison of doses and estimates of risks -- Evaluations and conclusions -- Hereditary effects -- Sources of irradiation -- Physical and biological aspects of the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter -- Somatic effects -- Abbreviations -- Introduction.
