Ce livre rassemble une série de contributions de la conférence ECORAD 2001 concernant les discussions actuelles et fournit des informations techniques et scientifiques au sujet de l'environnement du continent et des estuaires. ©Electre 2024
Since the early forties, radioecology has, often in an emergency situation, been faced with the need to evaluate the impact that the military or civil use of nuclear energy has had on the environment. Radioecology developed in parallel with other ecological disciplines especially ecotoxicology, in part through the use of tracers. Radioecologists have aimed to understand processes controlling the environmental transfer of radionuclides and to integrate them into predictive models and engineering and restoration techniques. Experience of providing radioecological methods to mitigate the effects of accidents has emphasized the importance of the concept of sustainable development. It has also contributed to the recognition of a second key concept, the precautionary principle, and its practical application in the environment.
On the threshold of the 21st century, radioecologists have needed to take stock of the situation and to widen their perspectives by gathering in a worldwide assembly at the ECORAD 2001 Conference. This book collates a series of invited contributions which reflect on on-going discussions and provide reviews of the most up-to-date scientific and technical information regarding continental and estuarine environments. Within this context, and further to defining the current state of the art, the papers also identify possible research themes for the future along with scientific and ethical issues which are becoming increasingly important in response to public concern with respect to environmental radioprotection.
