Long-term exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation may affect cells and tissues result in various adverse health effects. The purpose this study was investigate whether chromosome aberrations haematological alterations could be used as biomarkers possible injury workers exposed radiation. Groups totalling 323 medical professionals handling X-ray equipment 160 control subjects were examined for incidence changes leukocyte, lymphocyte thrombocyte counts. all types higher the groups than...
Abstract Reflecting a change in funding strategies for European research projects, and commitment to the idea of responsible innovation radiological protection (RP), collective institutes universities have developed prospective Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) Social Sciences Humanities (SSH) protection. This is first time such agenda has been proposed. paper identifies six lines interest concern: (1) Effects social, psychological economic aspects on RP behaviour; (2) Holistic approaches...
A recently developed active electronic personal dosemeter (AEPD) was utilised in order to measure the levels and structure of occupational exposure scattered X-ray radiation medical staff who performed percutaneous revascularisation therapy that involves interventional radiology (IR) on pelvis upper leg arteries. The AEPDs, placed operators' assistants' chests, is, above protective apron, continuously measured recorded received doses and, as a novelty, dose rates function time, thus yielding...

Coal fly ash and slag waste residuals from coal combustion are an issue of importance as one the possible sources environmental contamination exposure to NORM. This study compares results different radiological risk assessment scenarios targeting terrestrial biota at a legacy site in Croatia that contains large quantities with enhanced content radionuclides originating previous industrial activities. The ERICA tool was used for assessment, which included data borehole samples maximum depth 6...
Because of progressive development and extended use interventional radiology (IR) procedures it is highly recommended that all individuals involved in the process should be aware potential for both stochastic deterministic effects due to occupational exposure. IR are performed such a manner certain number medical staff always needed near patient, X-ray unit. The new challenge regular radiation protection ensure 'safe' working environment field geometry. In this work patient physically...
Plaster splints are used daily in surgical and orthopedic fields order to immobilize injured children adults. The aim of this study was measure the aerodynamic diameter concentration dust particles air caused by sawing plaster (calcium sulfate dehy-drate). We performed fractional measurements airborne particles. measured particles, which can potentially be inhaled, may have a specific negative effect on human health. Measurements were conducted laboratory research facilities that simulated...
