How does the IAEA support public health in the context of toxicology?
The IAEA aids public health efforts by offering expertise in radiation medicine and promoting the safe use of radiation in healthcare settings. It also provides guidance on managing the toxicological risks associated with exposure to radiation in medical treatments, such as radiotherapy and medical imaging technologies. The agency works to ensure that medical professionals are trained in radiation protection and that patients are informed about the potential risks and benefits of radiation-based medical procedures.
