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 & True StoriesbicsscWaddawalla / Well 40 (Great Sandy Desert WA SF51-08)aiatsispair dose ratedifficult-to-return zoneevacuation order-lifted areaseffective dose rateexternal exposure riskFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accidentliving spaceradiocesiumsurface soilTomioka towntritium monitoringfusion test facilitydeuterium plasma experimentmonthly precipitationchemical compositionFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plantstrontium-90cesium-137seawater monitoringcontaminated waterdose assessmentJapanbottled waterguidance levelWHOnatural radionuclidesartificial radionuclideseffective doseingestionpassive radon monitordevelopmentsensitivitydetection limitair-exchange ratetotal diet studyradioactive cesiumpotassium-40dietary intakeFukushima accident222Rn progeny220Rn progenyCR-39equilibrium equivalent concentrationdeposition velocitythoronthoron progenyindoor environmentmeasurement techniqueradioactivityresidential exposuredosegamma radiationhealth riskradon mapping226Ra228Ra238Uwell waterradiological hazardsREE and uranium minesnorthern Vietnamradonhot springpublic healthNamie Towncesium-134external exposure dose evaluationradon concentrationgroundwaterresidence timelimestone aquiferOkinawa Islandindoorenvironmentnationwide surveySSNTDradon potential mapgeography information systemsgeologyriskexhalation ratelong-term measurementseasonal variationFukushimafree-roaming catreproductive organinternal contaminationBiography & True StoriesTokonami Shinjiedt1293424Kashiwakura IkuoedtTokonami ShinjiothKashiwakura IkuoothBOOK9910557530803321Assessment of Environmental Radioactivity and Radiation for Human Health Risk3022611UNINA
