This paper presents an overview of the approach used to assess radiation dose and risk to members of the public from radioactivity in food and the environment. It describes uncertainties in the process and suggests ways of dealing with them to improve the risk assessment process. It also explains how uncertainty in the assessed dose/risk can be communicated to non-expert audiences such as members of the public. The issues covered in this paper apply to risk assessment of any contaminant and not only radioactivity.
本文概述了用于评估食品和环境中放射性物质对公众造成的辐射剂量和风险的方法。它描述了该过程中的不确定性，并提出了应对这些不确定性以改进风险评估过程的方法。它还解释了如何将评估剂量/风险的不确定性传达给非专业受众，如公众。本文所涵盖的问题适用于任何污染物的风险评估，而不仅仅是放射性物质。
