Radiation risk research focuses on understanding the potential health effects and risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. This includes studying the impact of radiation on the human body, such as increased cancer risk, genetic mutations, and other health effects. Researchers also investigate ways to minimize and mitigate radiation exposure, as well as develop guidelines and safety measures for individuals working in environments with potential radiation hazards. Overall, the goal of radiation risk research is to better understand the potential risks of radiation exposure and to inform decision-making and policy development to protect public health.
