Radiation and Health Part 6: Environmental Pathways and Radiation Effects Net Web Conference Training
The series describes the nature and origins of environmental radiation ("Part 1: Atomic Structure and Isotopes" and "Part 2: Radioactive Elements and Their Decay"), accurate measurement of radioactive isotopes in environmental media ("Part 3: Radiation Detection and Measurement" and "Part 4: Introduction to Radiation Dosimetry"), and how to identify possible pathways of radiation exposure and calculate exposure doses ("Part 5: Radioactive Materials in the Environment" and "Part 6: Environmental Pathways and Radiation Health Effects".) At the conclusion of the entire 6-part series, participants will be able to perform a knowledge-based, preliminary evaluation of environmental radiation data, recognize when a public health radiation hazard may be present, and be prepared to communicate effectively with ATSDR's professional health physicists about radiation issues when discussing conditions at hazardous waste sites. The training will be both in-class and Net Conferencing. Travel to Atlanta, Georgia, is not necessary. All you need in order to attend this training is a PC with access to the Internet and a separate phone line. However, only a limited number of connections (portals) are available. Please reserve a room at your location with Internet projection so one portal can serve multiple attendees to maximize the training opportunity for all partners. Procedural details will be provided via email to individuals reserving a portal for the training (e.g., bridge number, Web site link, and information on any plug-ins necessary for connectivity and pre-course testing). Those in Atlanta are invited to participate in the training in person. Please click on the "View Details" link below for more information and registration.
