Description
In 1977, the International Commission on Radiological Protection issued ICRP Publication 27, "Problems Involved in Developing an Index
of Harm". That report discussed the difficulties of making an appropriate comparison of radiation and other effects and suggested a quantitative
index to take account of the length of life or full activity lost as a result of occupational causes. This new report substantially extends
the scope of ICRP Publication 27, by including new data on occupational accident risks as well as a consideration of radiation-induced
non-fatal cancers, non-stochastic effects and hereditary detriment. An appendix discussing assessments of detriment in sections of the
general public due to exposure to ionising radiation is also included.
Audience
For all those concerned with health and safety at work, and those who have a specific interest in radiation protection and quantitative
assessment of the risks arising from exposure to ionising radiation.
