[Radon and internal contamination]. / Radon e contaminazione interna.

Because of hits everywhere presence in air and in water needful mediums for life, radon is a omnipresent risk for every person. Therefore, in relation to those vital functions, lungs and gastro-enteric tract represent the principal target organs of this noble radioactive gas (and mainly of hits radioactive daughters). International organisms evaluated the effective dose coefficients for both target organs, so it is possible e quantitative assessment of the exposure risk related to this noble gas.

[The point of view of the Italian Association of Medical Radioprotection: proposal of the Italian C.E.M. Observatory]. / Il punto di vista dell'Associazione Italiana di Radioprotezione Medica: proposta di Osservatorio italiano C.E.M.

Taking in consideration the suggested guide-lines for the health-surveillance on workers exposed to N.I.R. and in particular to ELF and radio-frequency, a work-group of A.I.R.M. suggests the constitution of an italian network for electro-magnetic fields. An observatory will be founded to value the professional exposures and the undue situations of risk, a parallel one will take the census of the workers subdivided into classes for exposure levels, pathologies or symptomatologies imputable to electro-magnetic fields. This suggestion is addressed to the national environmetal hygienists and occupational physicians that are interested.
