Who is ARPANSA, and what do they do?

Simply, they are the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency - the Federal Government’s primary authority on radiation health issues.

In this video, A/Prof. Sarah Loughran (Radiation Research & Advice Director) and Dr Stuart Henderson (Electromagnetic Radiation Exposure Assistant Director) explain the how types of radiation differ, and how they can impact us.

A/Prof. Sarah Loughran and Dr Stuart Henderson also break down what the UV index actually tells us, and why it is so important so check it every time we are outdoors.
