Health Physics focuses on the scientific and technical aspects of radiation protection. This includes understanding and mitigating health risks from various sources of radiation, such as occupational exposures in nuclear facilities and medical settings, environmental contamination, and public communication during radiological emergencies. The journal also addresses the dosimetry, regulation, and management of radiation exposure, including the development and application of models and technologies for radiation monitoring and safety.
