Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence, with biological tissues and inert materials are well established physical methods for retrospective dosimetry in acute accidental exposures. The objective of this article is to provide a view of the questions still open, the current challenges and the needed solutions. As research on emergency response methods is encountering increasing difficulties in terms of financial and human resources in many countries, it is essential to identify the research priorities and pay attention to cost-effective research paths. The intention of the paper is to stimulate discussion in the scientific community and to encourage collaboration among laboratories toward goals that address the real needs in retrospective dosimetry for acute exposures.
