Committee 1
Radiation Effects

Under Main Commission

Committee 1 considers the effects of radiation action from the subcellular to population and ecosystem levels, including the induction of cancer, hereditary, and other diseases, impairment of tissue/organ function and developmental defects, and assesses implications for protection of people and the environment.
