Ethics of (radiological) protection of the environment.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Protection of the environment against the harmful effects of ionising radiation was mentionedin both ICRP Publication 26 (1977) and Publication 60 (1991), but it was at the time assumed that ‘ifman is adequately protected then other living things are also likely to be sufficiently protected.’ Adecade later, Publication 91 (2003) recognised that the ‘Impact of Ionising Radiation on Non-humanSpecies’ was an independent topic worthy of attention. It was in this publication that the ICRP firstexplicitly addressed ethical issues. It discussed the importance of different philosophical worldviewsregarding the environment, such as anthropocentrism and biocentrism, and identified someinternationally agreed upon ethical principles relevant for radiological protection of the environment,namely sustainable development, conservation, preservation, maintenance of biological diversity,environmental justice, and human dignity. These partly overlap with the core ethical values identifiedin Publication 138 (2018) on the ‘Ethical Foundations of the System of Radiological Protection’:beneficence/non-maleficence, prudence, justice, and dignity. The latter document does give a certainweight to environmental issues, but it does not clearly distinguish between questions of environmentalhealth (the effects of environmental factors on human health) and environmental integrity (the effectsof the same factors on non-human species and whole ecosystems). It is argued here that the ethics of(radiological) protection of the environment needs to be considered in its own right, even if it is notbeyond the scope of Publication 138.
