The Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) is a UK-wide advisory committee set up by the British government. It was established in 1985.[1]
The terms of reference of COMARE are:
COMARE has produced fourteen reports on a wide range of radiation issues by 2011.
The COMARE secretariat is provided by the Health Protection Agency's Radiation Protection Division, formerly the National Radiological Protection Board.
The Department of Health and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs asked COMARE to review the risks from internal radiation emitters and advise on any further research required. To help them to do this they have set up the Committee Examining Radiation Risks from Internal Emitters (CERRIE) which operated between October 2001 and October 2004.[1]
