Area of Science:
- Radiation Protection Science
- Public Health
- Environmental Health
Background:
- European Radiation Protection Week (ERPW) is an established annual event for radiation protection researchers.
- The 2025 event marked the ninth year and returned to the UK, hosted in London.
- Organized by the UK Health Security Agency and Imperial College London.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the core three-day event of the European Radiation Protection Week 2025.
- To highlight the diverse program spanning all areas of radiation protection research.
- To document the collaborative efforts of European platforms under the MEENAS umbrella.
Main Methods:
- The event included satellite meetings, plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and poster presentations.
- A trade exhibition was also part of the meeting format.
- The program covered research areas of federated European Platforms: MELODI, EURADOS, EURAMED, NERIS, ALLIANCE, and SHARE.

Radiation: Applications
1.9K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

Biological Effects of Radiation
18.9K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
2.1K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
