Environmental Radioactivity in Denmark
Concentrations of environmental radioactivity in Denmark (notably radiocaesium and radiostrontium) have been determined regularly by Risø National Laboratory since 1957. |

Analysis of radioactivity in environmental samples and food
Risø issues certificates on radioactivity in environmental samples and food based on radiometric analyses. |

Medical Radiation Dosimetry Course
The Risø DTU course "Medical Radiation Dosimetry" provides the theoretical and metrological background for measurement of radiation doses in radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology, and nuclear medicine. The five-day intensive course is based on the classic textbook by F.H. Attix and supplementary material. Course web page: mrdc.risoe.dk

Risø High Dose Reference Laboratory - HDRL
Risø HDRL services the radiation processing industry in Denmark and abroad, and in particular the medical device industry that sterilizes products using radiation. |
| |
Radiation Measurement Instruments
Special instruments for radiation dosimetry, dating and environmental measurements are available based on Risø’s research and development in luminescence dosimetry and development of multicounters for the measurement of low-level beta radioactivity in environmental samples.

Radon in houses
Radon is believed to cause an increased risk of lung cancer and it is therefore of interest to identify houses with high levels of indoor radon. It is important to know how many houses that have high levels and the location of these houses. Furthermore, it is of interest to know about low-radon houses where there is no cause for alarm.
