This highly successful manual has served for nearly three
decades as the definitive guide to the safe use of radioactive
materials. Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition
presents a new dimension by adding coverage of nonionizing
radiation, and is thus concerned with the entire field of radiation
protection.
The author takes the novel approach of introducing the whole
range of energies possessed by particles and electromagnetic waves
at the beginning of the text, thus integrating coverage of ionizing
and nonionizing radiation rather than considering them as two
separate disciplines. He goes on to cover the entire spectrum of
radiation sources, including radionuclides, x-ray machines,
accelerators, nuclear reactors, power lines, microwave towers, and
cellular phones.
With its expanded coverage, including a broader focus on public
health issues, this new volume will serve as an important training
and reference resource, not only for research scientists,
physicians, and engineers, but for regulatory officials, attorneys,
engineers, and environmental health and safety professionals. The
breadth of citations alone makes this resource invaluable.
