Thereafter, many people around the world have been concerned about the risks posed by radiation. They still believe that even a small amount of radiation exposure will affect human health. In reality, however, there are many natural radionuclides in the environment, which emit a variety of types of radiation. Although it is well known that there is a positively linear relationship between acute radiation exposure and cancer risk in atomic bomb survivors, the risk of chronic radiation exposure due to natural radionuclides cannot be well explained to people who have lived in high-background radiation areas for many generations. Therefore, more studies in this research field are required to obtain new scientific findings. In order to promote further scientific activities, it will be the best for us to understand the current status of this field by summarizing what we have apprehended so far. This Special Issue will highlight measurement data, methodologies, radiation biology, and risk assessment related to radiation.Biography and non-fiction prosebicsscWaddawalla / Well 40 (Great Sandy Desert WA SF51-08)aiatsisp220Rn progeny222Rn progeny226Ra228Ra238Uair dose rateair-exchange rateartificial radionuclidesbottled watercesium-134cesium-137chemical compositioncontaminated waterCR-39deposition velocitydetection limitdeuterium plasma experimentdevelopmentdietary intakedifficult-to-return zonedosedose assessmenteffective doseeffective dose rateenvironmentequilibrium equivalent concentrationevacuation order-lifted areasexhalation rateexternal exposure dose evaluationexternal exposure riskfree-roaming catFukushimaFukushima accidentFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power PlantFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accidentfusion test facilitygamma radiationgeography information systemsgeologygroundwaterguidance levelhealth riskhot springindoorindoor environmentingestioninternal contaminationJapanlimestone aquiferliving spacelong-term measurementmeasurement techniquemonthly precipitationNamie Townnationwide surveynatural radionuclidesnorthern VietnamOkinawa Islandpassive radon monitorpotassium-40public healthradioactive cesiumradioactivityradiocesiumradiological hazardsradonradon concentrationradon mappingradon potential mapREE and uranium minesreproductive organresidence timeresidential exposureriskseasonal variationseawater monitoringsensitivitySSNTDstrontium-90surface soilthoronthoron progenyTomioka towntotal diet studytritium monitoringwell waterWHOBiography and non-fiction proseTokonami Shinjiedt1293424Kashiwakura IkuoedtTokonami ShinjiothKashiwakura IkuoothBOOK9910557530803321Assessment of Environmental Radioactivity and Radiation for Human Health Risk3022611UNINA
