“…National surveys which approximate in character to this latter description were carried out in many European countries; the UK (Wrixon et al 1988), Ireland (McLaughlin andWasiolek, 1988), Italy (Bochicchio et al 1994), Finland (Castren, 1994) and Sweden (Swedgemark and Mjones 1984), and non-European countries, e.g. the United States of America (Marcinowski, 1992) and Australia (Langroo et al 1991). UNSCEAR reports (UNSCEAR, 1993 and2000) give a summary of the principal results from a number of national and regional surveys carried out in EU Member States, other European countries, North America, Japan and Australia.…”
