Abstract
Within the past 15 years the number, variety, location, nature and use of radiation sources have increased greatly. Increased scientific knowledge indicates low-level radiation exposures once thought safe may not be so. Health agencies must evaluate sources of radiation exposure and prevent danger to public health through newer and increased uses of ionizing radiation sources.Keywords
