Radiation and Health

Radiation and Health

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Radiation and Health presents a balanced view of the nature of radiation and its existence in the environment, as well as discussing its effects on plants, animals, and humans. It also provides a survey of knowledge to date, from the discovery and basic theory of radiation and radioactivity to more recent developments concerned with the environmental and biological effects of radiation. Examples, calculation exercises, and diagrams are included to make this book accessible to non-specialists. This book explores the uses and consequences of ionizing radiation in medicine, research, and industry to help establish rules and regulations that limit radiation doses for both the individual and society.
