UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) is a specialized body that studies how ionizing radiation from various sources, like nuclear accidents or natural radiation, impacts health and the environment. It gathers and assesses scientific data to understand radiation exposure levels and potential risks, helping governments and organizations develop safety standards. By providing independent, evidence-based reports, UNSCEAR plays a vital role in informing policies and protecting public health from radiation-related hazards worldwide.
