An international framework for environmental radiation protection has been developed over the last few decades. From 2005 to 2017, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) established a committee on environmental protection and published several reports. ICRP developed a protection framework which was based on the Reference Animals and Plants corresponding to the Reference Man in radiation protection of humans, and the Derived Consideration Reference Level which is the band of dose rates corresponding to the possibility of adverse effect of each animals and plants. The present review summarized the current state of the environmental protection system focusing on the activities of ICRP first and then of other international organizations. The current issues about environmental protection were also discussed.

Strategic research will be needed to unveil the uncertainty regarding the health effect of radiation at low dose and low dose rate. Recently, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) published Commentary No. 24 dealing with the perspective of integrating radiation biology and epidemiology to address this issue. Results of radiation biology have not been effectively used for radiation risk assessment because 1) available epidemiological studies based on direct observation of human population have been considered to be the most relevant despite their uncertainties and 2) biological studies have not been conducted with their use in risk assessment in mind. The present paper summarizes the Commentary to present perspectives on integrating biology and epidemiology for radiation risk assessment.
