Background And Objective: Herniarin is a simple coumarin that is found naturally in some plant species. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of herniarin against ionizing radiation-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Methods: Herniarin was added to human lymphocytes before irradiation with a dose of 2 Gy of Xrays.
This paper presents the results of the evaluation of the uncertainty in measurement of the personal dose equivalent, Hp(10), at nine individual monitoring services (IMSs) in Asia and the Pacific region. Different types of passive dosemeters were type-tested according to the International Electrotechnical Commission 62387 requirements. The uncertainty in measurement was calculated using the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement approach.

- * Twenty-four monitoring services participated, testing four sets of dosemeters in X-ray and gamma radiation at different angles.
- * While most results fell within the acceptable limits, only a few reported confidence intervals that included the reference dose, indicating areas for improvement in calibration procedures for some systems.
