Regulation and management of radiation

Monitoring and ongoing research informs international recommendations on acceptable levels of radiation and its safe use. At present, there is little evidence that the way we typically use and encounter radiation in our daily lives poses much risk to our health. We have also learned how to mitigate many of the potentially harmful effects of radiation. International and national organisations provide us with safety guidance on the use of radiation. We can also take individual action, such as covering our skin, to reduce our exposure to the Sun.
