IJLR is dedicated to the publication of research articles, review papers and technical notes in all domains related to low-dose and very low-dose radiation, among which are the biological and health effects in humans and the biota, in vitro and in vivo research on low radiation effects, regulatory and policy aspects, risk estimation and public perception.
Topics covered include
- Radiation risks in perspective
- Radio-induced cancer among cancer risks
- Epidemiological data
- Effect of radiation on radiation workers
- Medical cohorts
- Models and controversies in radiation carcinogenesis
- Effects of radiation on mammalian cells, stress responses in cells and tissues
- Variations in natural background irradiation throughout the world
- Review of radiation exposure limits worldwide
- Radiation protection
- Hormesis
- Genomic instability
- Bystander effects
- Changing paradigms and radiation protection
- Impact of low dose/dose rates on DNA repair/disrepair
Objectives
The main focus of IJLR is on health and biological effects that occur at radiation levels comparable to those encountered in the natural environment, at the workplace or in the environment under normal or accidental situations when the doses incurred are low enough not to result in deterministic effects. In this context, it must be remembered that low radiation also means exposure to natural elevated radiation levels (doses and dose rates) in excess of current internationally recommended values and national regulatory dose and dose rate limits.
Readership
IJLR is intended to be a focal point and a forum for researchers, engineers, environmental specialists, managers and policy makers for whom an in-depth knowledge of real, as opposed to assumed, low radiation effects and risks is necessary.
Contents
In addition to manuscripts dealing strictly with the effects of ionising radiation, research papers on synergism between low radiation exposures and other environmental agents are invited. IJLR also welcomes manuscripts on uncertainty analyses of low radiation effects and on methods for reducing these uncertainties. A fair balance will be sought between: special issues addressing specific topics, developing from a review package and in-depth and supplementary articles; and issues of a more conventional structure blending articles addressing several topics.
