Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR VII Phase 2

Good+ condition without a dust jacket. The covers are in good shape with light shelf wear and slightly curled corners. The binding is square and tight. An organization stamp has been neatly marked out on the title page, and fewer than ten interior pages contain sparse markings.Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR VII Phase 2, authored by the Committee to Assess Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation, provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects resulting from low-level ionizing radiation exposure. This report is one of the first to include detailed estimates for cancer incidence alongside cancer mortality. It supports the "linear-no-threshold" (LNT) risk model, which suggests that even the smallest dose of radiation has the potential to increase cancer risk. The findings are based on a thorough review of biological and biophysical data, offering strengthened confidence in previously reported risk estimates for cancer and leukemia. The report originates from the Board on Radiation Research Effects, now part of the Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment to ensure protection from the elements. A USPS electronic tracking number will be provided free of charge. Feel free to reach out for additional information or pictures of the book.…
