What is the role of the IAEA in radiation toxicology?
The IAEA is instrumental in setting international radiation safety standards and providing guidance on radiation protection. Radiation toxicology deals with the study of the adverse effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms. The IAEA provides resources and support for understanding the biological effects of radiation exposure, including health effects from low-level exposure and potential risks from nuclear accidents. The agency collaborates with other international organizations to ensure that radiation safety standards are based on the latest scientific research.
