Boron neutron capture therapy and environmental health
Sachindra Lochana
, Sachini Hettiara
Резюме: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is an innovative cancer treatment modality that exploits neutron beams to specifically destroy malignant cells. Despite its assuring clinical benefits, BNCT familiarizes itself with unique environmental health considerations, including radiation safety, waste supervision, and potential ecological ramifications. This review investigates these aspects by appraising radiation safety protocols, waste disposal procedures, and environmental monitoring implementations associated with BNCT facilities. Effective radiation shielding and demanding safety protocols are necessary to protect occupational and public health from potential neutron radiation exposure. Waste management implementations must inscribe the treatment, handling, and disposal of radioactive and biological waste to anticipate environmental contamination. Long-term ecological monitoring is decisive for detecting and mitigating any adverse influences on surrounding ecosystems. The review also emphasizes the significance of public awareness and education in addressing environmental health concerns. By integrating case studies from various international perspectives and recognizing research gaps, this review aims to contribute comprehensive insights into the ecological health suggestions of BNCT and propose strategies for enhancing its sustainability. The findings accentuate the need for continuous improvement in safety measures, waste management, and public engagement to corroborate that BNCT can be safely and effectively implemented in a technique that protects both human health and the environment.
