Abstract (English)

The European Radon Research and Industry Collaboration Concerted Action (ERRICCA 2) will establish a European scientific led industrial forum aimed at reducing risks to health from radiation (principally radon but also thoron) in the built environment. It will operate at both European and National levels acting as a means for disseminating existing research findings to industry and the public, for clarifying industry needs for further research and for undertaking collaborative work in common topic areas. 21 countries will be represented at the European Forum with each country providing one scientific and one industrial member.
