The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) invites comments on the draft document: “Early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and organs: threshold doses for tissue reactions and other non-cancer effects of radiation in a radiation protection context” which can be downloaded through the consultations page of the ICRP web site. The last date for receiving the comments is April 1, 2011.
This radiation protection related draft report provides a review of early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and organs considering recent advances in the scientific results. It follows the ICRP Publication 103, and provides updated estimates of dose responses and threshold doses for tissue reactions (deterministic effects). Estimates are given for morbidity and mortality endpoints in all organ systems following acute, fractionated or chronic exposure.
In light of the new information, ICRP may consider how best to manage and control exposures to ionizing radiation to protect human health with respect to certain tissue reactions
