• 2013:30 Laser pointers and Eye injuries - An analysis of reported cases

  The safety limits that exist for human exposure of laser radiation are essential to reduce the risk of injuries. These values, however, give very little information on what tissue damages that may be expected at various elevated exposure levels. Similarly, the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSM) has very little information on how such tissue damage is related to the impairment of the...

• 2013:19 Eighth report from SSM:s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority`s (SSM) scientific council monitors the current research situation and gives the authority advice on the assessment of risks, authorization and optimization within the area. The council gives guidance when the authority shall give an opinion on policy matters when scientific testing is necessary. The council shall submit a written report on the current...

• 2012:22 A dosimetric intercomparison between the radiation therapy clinics in Sweden

  In general the study showed a good agreement between the results from the audit team and the local team. The examination of the reference dosimetry showed an excellent agreement between the absorbed dose determined by the audit team and the local team. The spread of the results among the Swedish radiotherapy departments was much lower as compared to similar studies conducted in other...

• 2012:20 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2011

  Many cancer patients are treated in accordance with written guidelines or clinical trial protocols. The scientific council states that the radiotherapy part in those guidelines and protocols is less well specified than other therapies such as surgery and chemotherapy. This report identifies the key aspects of modern radiotherapy from international radiotherapy organisations and scientific...

• 2012:02 Evaluation of activity build-up experiments

  This project aims to understand how the water chemistry affects the activity build-up on surfaces in different systems in Swedish nuclear power plants, which in turn provides information on conditions required to reduce the radiation exposure to power plant staff. The study was done to obtain knowledge about water chemistry conditions preferred to minimize the activity build-up. A number of...

• 2011:25 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2010

  In this report, three main areas have been highlighted: quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and late side-effects including the risk of radiation-induced secondary malignancies. These areas reflect the ongoing activities in leading international radiotherapy organisations. Specific attention is given to new technologies such as image-guided radiotherapy and intensity-modulated...

• 2010:44 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk Seventh annual report from SSM:s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2010

  This year has seen the publication of the long awaited Interphone study looking at brain tumour risk in mobile phone users. However, the advent of these new data does not change the overall picture being that for up to about ten years of mobile phone use associations with brain tumour risk are unlikely. This conclusion is based on the collective of studies on mobile phone use and brain tumour...

• 2010:21 Childhood leukaemia around nuclear facilities

  The first indication of a possible relationship between living close to a nuclear installation and the risk of childhood leukaemia came from the United Kingdom in 1983. A cluster of childhood leukaemia in the town of Seascale which is located close to Sellafield was reported in a TV documen-tary. Since then almost 200 studies have been carried out in order to investi-gate the occurrence of...

• 2009:36 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Sixth annual report from SSM:s independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2009

  A large number of cell studies are done on both genotoxic and non-genotoxic outcomes, such as apoptosis gene expression. There are no new positive findings from cellular studies that have been well established in terms of experimental quality and replication. Potential heating of the samples is still seen as a major source of artefacts. Moreover, these few positive results are not related to...

• 2009:24 UV-radiation induced disease – roles of UVA and UVB

  There is a large uncertainty concerning the impact of UVA and UVB radiation on the skin and eye. For example, UVA radiation used to be considered low risk since it was believed that DNA damage could only be caused by UVB radiation. However, recent studies show that UVA and UVB can give rise to similar DNA damages in human skin. Because of the potentially greater exposure to UVA while using...
