Health Effects Of Exposure To Low-Level Ionizing Radiation

The question of the risks associated with low-level exposure to ionizing radiation and the associated statutory limitations on exposure remains a topic of vigorous debate amongst medical and health physicists, clinical radiologists and members of the public.
^IHealth Effects of Exposure to Low-Level Ionizing Radiation presents a comprehensive, consideration of these issues within a solid historical and scientific framework. It provides a thorough and understandable discussion of radiation sources, health effects, radiation protection, and worker and public perception and education about radiation.

"... an in-depth insight into all aspects of radiation effects including a thorough overview of radiation sources and biological effects as well as a detailed discussion of radiation cancerogenesis and radiation protection. Almost any question possible regarding radiation hazards is covered in this book ... a tremous source of knowledge for anyone who is willing to take a thorough look at the health effects of ionizing radiation." -- European Radiology, Vol 6, 1996

"...a valuable resource ... presents an extensive overview of the field ... aimed at a broad audience of students and professionals ... and does a fine job of meeting the needs of this group ... a wealth of important material, presented in a lucid and balanced fashion and at a high level of scientific reliability." -- Physics Today, October 1996

"This book is authoritative, frequently useful, often fascinating, and is strongly recommend as a comprehensive source of information for those of all professions who are involved in the use of low level radiation in medicine." -- ANZ Nuclear Medicine Journal
