UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation

About

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation was established in 1955 by Resolution 913 (X) of the General Assembly in response to widespread concerns about the effects of radiation on human health and the environment. Its mandate in the United Nations system is to assess and report levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. Over the decades, the Committee has become the world authority on radiation science and estimation of global levels and effects of ionizing radiation. Governments and organizations throughout the world rely on the Committee's estimates as the scientific basis for evaluating radiation risk and for establishing protective measures.
