Measurement and Assessment of Environmental Radioactivity

This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental Sciences“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite academic scientists, researchers, and scholars from all over the world to contribute articles to a Special Issue of Applied Sciences that will be dedicated to the assessment of environmental radioactivity.

This Special Issue will gather original research articles, systematic literature reviews, communications, and case study reports that enhance our understanding and assessment of environmental radioactivity.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Methods for measuring radioactivity in various environmental media;
  • The evaluation of natural and anthropogenic radioactivity sources;
  • Advances in radiological monitoring technologies;
  • The environmental and health impacts of radioactivity;
  • The mitigation and management of radioactive contamination.

We believe that your expertise in this field could represent a valuable contribution to this collection.

Contributions will be subject to peer review to ensure that our high standards are met in terms of quality and scientific rigor.

Dr. Filomena Loffredo
Prof. Dr. Maria Quarto
