The Low Level Radiation and Health Conference

Rik Garfit-Mottram 26th Aug 2018 The Low Level Radiation and Health Conference was set up in 1985 by members
of the public keen to find out more about these issues. Since its
inception, the conference has invited those carrying out research to
present their findings in an accessible way to members of the public and
those with an interest.

Thanks to Professor Carmel Mothersill we were able
to run on our event from one she organised for the International Union of
Radioecologists and kindly some of the IUR speakers stayed on to present.
In addition, Rik offered to film the entire event.
