Radiobiology

The Radiobiology Division aims to evaluate and manage the risks of radiation on human health, standardize biological dosimetry methods, and reduce unnecessary radiation exposure in Canada. As part of Health Canada, the Radiobiology Division

  • investigates the biological effects of exposures to internal and external sources of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
  • monitors worker exposure to radiation using existing biological dosimetry methods
  • develops better methods for biological dosimetry
