[Ionizing radiation and health: data and objectives].
Three dimensions must be considered to analyze the consequences of exposure to ionozing radiation on public health: assessment of exposure, measure of the public health risk, and monitoring the perception of risk by the population. We reviewed these three dimension for several situations of exposure to ionizing radiation: exposure related to the Chernobyl accident, occupational exposure, military-related exposure and medical exposure. For each situation, we discuss the pertinence of available data an monitoring systems used in France, and propose when necessary new systems. An extension of the cancer registries to the entire country would be a significant progress in terms of research and surveillance. This must be discussed in terms of potential utility in other domains of public health.
