    Special Issue on Radioactive Contamination

    Radioactive contamination, also called radiological contamination,
is the deposition of, or presence of radioactive substances on surfaces
or within solids, liquids or gases (including the human body), where
their presence is unintended or undesirable.
    Such contamination presents a hazard because of the radioactive
decay of the contaminants, which emit harmful ionising radiation such as
alpha or beta particles, gamma rays or neutrons. The degree of hazard is
determined by the concentration of the contaminants, the energy of the
radiation being emitted, the type of radiation, and the proximity of the
contamination to organs of the body. It is important to be clear that
the contamination gives rise to the radiation hazard, and the terms
"radiation" and "contamination" are not interchangeable. The goal of
this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and
academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various
new issues and developments in the area of Radioactive Contamination.
    In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors
to submit original research and review articles that explore Radioactive
Contamination. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are
not limited to:

     
        Sources of contamination
        Contamination accumulation
        Radiation hazards
