The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) was established in 1955 to systematically collect, evaluate, publish and share data on the global levels and effects of ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources. Regular surveys have been conducted to determinate the frequencies of medical radiological procedure, the number of equipment and staffing and the level of global exposure using the health care level (HCL) extrapolation model. UNSCEAR surveys revealed a range of issues relating to participation, survey process, data quality and analysis. Thus, UNSCEAR developed an improvement strategy to address the existing deficiencies in data quality and collection. The major element of this strategy is the introduction of an on-line platform to facilitate the data collection and archiving process. It is anticipated that the number of countries participating in UNSCEAR's surveys will increase in the future, particularly from HCL II-IV countries.
联合国原子辐射影响科学委员会(UNSCEAR)成立于1955年,旨在系统地收集、评估、发布和分享关于全球自然和人工源电离辐射水平及影响的数据。已定期开展调查,以使用医疗保健水平(HCL)外推模型确定医疗放射程序的频率、设备数量和人员配备以及全球照射水平。UNSCEAR的调查揭示了一系列与参与情况、调查过程、数据质量和分析有关的问题。因此,UNSCEAR制定了一项改进战略,以解决数据质量和收集方面现有的不足。该战略的主要内容是引入一个在线平台,以促进数据收集和存档过程。预计未来参与UNSCEAR调查的国家数量将会增加,特别是来自HCL II-IV级国家的参与。
