A WORKSHOP ON HARMONIZATION OF EAST-WEST RADIOACTIVE POLLUTANT MEASUREMENTS, STANDARDIZATION OF TECHNIQUES AND CONSIDERATIONS OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS: REPORT ON THE COMMISSION OF EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP HELD IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, AUGUST 1994

摘要

Measurements of environmental radioactivity have a valued place in the protection of the public in southeastern Europe. There exists a strong group of scientists who have been conducting these measurements. The degree of harmonization was greatest in measurements on radon and through networks. Less harmonization exists in water measurements because techniques and organizational structures are still being developed in a number of countries. It is strongly recommended that there should be organized a 'Danube Watch', based in Budapest, to network measurements conducted of the water of this river which is so vital to the people who live along its banks. All radioactive pollution measurements, together with mitigation of radon in the home, can be justified by the value of a statistical life saved. However, in the
