Radiological Health Engineering/Health Physics


Health Physics and Radiation Safety is that area of environmental health engineering that deals with the protection of the individual and population groups against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.


The scientific and engineering aspects of health physics include:

  1. Physical measurements of different types of radiation and radioactive materials

  2. Establishment of quantitative relationships between radiation exposure and biological damage

  3. Movement of radioactivity through the environment

  4. Design of radiologically safe equipment, processes, and environments
