The System of Radiological Protection contributes to an appropriate level of protection from harmful [[Effects of Exposure]] to [[ICRPædia_Guide_to_the_Basics_of_Ionising_Radiation|Ionising Radiation]]. [[Objectives of Radiological Protection]] are defined for both people and the environment.
“to contribute to an appropriate level of protection for people and the environment against the detrimental effects of radiation exposure without unduly limiting the desirable human actions that may be associated with such exposure” ([[ICRP Publication 103]] paragraph 26)
