Ecological and Environmental Dose Assessment research evaluates radiation dose impacts on both human and non-human populations. This involves employing various methods to identify potential dose contributors, such as analyzing transfer factors and concentration ratios, and calculating organ-specific doses using both deterministic and stochastic approaches.

A key component of this area is radioecology, which studies the behavior and effects of radioactive elements in the environment. This field is subdivided into three main areas: the movement of radionuclides within ecological systems and their accumulation in components like soil, air, water, and biota; the effects of ionizing radiation on species, populations, communities, and ecosystems; and the application of radionuclides and ionizing radiation in understanding the structure and function of ecosystems and their subsystems. This comprehensive approach provides insights into the environmental impacts of radiation, contributing to more effective dose assessment and management strategies.
