The Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII) has today published ‘Radioactivity Monitoring of the Irish Environment 2008’ a report summarising the results of the RPII’s comprehensive monitoring programme for 2008.

They do not pose a significant risk to the human health of the Irish population.
