Abstract

The main aim of this thesis is to develop an integrated approach that can be used to evaluate or support policy and management decisions for potentially vulnerable areas in Europe. The EUSES (European System for the Evaluation of Substances) model was selected for this work. The methodology is based in the adaptation of the models contained in EUSES to use more realistic regional environmental data. The thesis aims to extend the current functionality of EUSES by providing users with the means of visualising and understanding the spatial component of the risk associated with a particular substance. The development environment for this approach is the ESRI ArcView GIS software and associated modules. EUSES was reimplemented in Excel to understand all the equations of the model. In order to understand the drivers of the model, screenings experiments were performed. As a result a set of graphs showing the relationship between the parameter considered and the outputs of the model was produced. A further stage focused on linking EUSES to GIS adding a spatial component. From available datasets the main drivers of the model were extracted. Using ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst, these data were overlayed and processed to obtain GIS maps of Europe at different scales. On the basis of the screening experiments, a set of mathematical equations were extrapolated and used to perform new computations to calculate the variation of the regional PECs due to changing in different parameters. These new computations were certificated with EUSES and a very good correspondence was found. These new computations were used in ArcView GIS; as a result a set of GIS maps were created showing potential vulnerable areas at different scales. This approach was also used to perform some scenario analyses useful to assess the impact of changing conditions on PEC values.

Abstract

Natural ionizing radiation is considered as the largest contributor to the collective effective dose received by the world population. The human population is continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from several natural sources that can be classified into two broad categories: high-energy cosmic rays incident on the Earth’s atmosphere and releasing secondary radiation (cosmic contribution); and radioactive nuclides generated during the formation of the Earth and still present in the Earth’s crust (terrestrial contribution). Terrestrial radioactivity is mostly produced by the uranium and thorium radioactive families together with potassium. In most circumstances, radon, a noble gas produced in the radioactive decay of uranium, is the most important contributor to the total dose. This Atlas aims to present the current state of knowledge of natural radioactivity, by giving general background information, and describing its various sources. This reference material is complemented by a collection of maps of Europe displaying the levels of natural radioactivity caused by different sources. It is a compilation of contributions and reviews received from more than 80 experts in their field: they come from universities, research centres, national and European authorities and international organizations. This Atlas provides reference material and makes harmonized datasets available to the scientific community and national competent authorities. In parallel, this Atlas may serve as a tool for the public to: • familiarize itself with natural radioactivity; • be informed about the levels of natural radioactivity caused by different sources; • have a more balanced view of the annual dose received by the world population, to which natural radioactivity is the largest contributor; • and make direct comparisons between doses from natural sources of ionizing radiation and those from man-made (artificial) ones, hence to better understand the latter.
