United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) is an international body that assesses and reports on the levels and effects of radiation exposure on human health and the environment. Established in 1955, UNSCEAR gathers scientific data, conducts research, and evaluates information about radiation from nuclear sources, natural events, and medical procedures. Its findings help guide governments and organizations in making informed decisions regarding radiation safety, public health policies, and emergency responses to nuclear incidents, contributing to a better understanding of radiation risks and fostering global safety standards.
