September 14, 2016Radiation in Perspective provides information related to ionizing radiation. Government agencies have established regulations that set exposure limits for ionizing radiation based on extensive research and recommendations from national and international scientific organizations. These limits are to protect individual workers, the public, and the environment, and are set at “acceptable” levels of risk similar to those for industrial activities (e.g., chemical, mining, and transportation industries).
