The UNSCEAR data base on global radiation exposure estimation
Description
Due to nuclear weapon tests at the beginning of the 1950ies public concerns were raised concerning effects of radioactivity on air, water and food. The general assembly of the United Nations established in 1955 the scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (UNSCEAR). The scientific committee was supposed to compile information on worldwide radiation exposures and the effects of ionizing radiation on health and environment.
