This book discusses multiple aspects of radiological and nuclear
terrorism. Do you know what to do if there is a radiological or
nuclear emergency in your city? These accidents are not common, but
they have happened - and even though we have not seen an attack
using these weapons, governments around the world are making plans
for how to prevent them - and for how to respond if necessary.
Whether you are an emergency responder, a medical caregiver, a
public health official - even a member of the public wanting to
know how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe - there is a
need to understand how these weapons work, how radiation affects
our health, how to stop an attack from taking place, how to respond
appropriately in the event of an emergency, and much more.
Unfortunately, the knowledge that is needed to accomplish all of
this is lacking at all levels of society and government. In this
book, Dr. Andrew Karam, an internationally respected expert in
radiation safety and multiple aspects of radiological and nuclear
emergencies, discusses how these weapons work and what they can do,
how they can affect our health, how to keep yourself safe, and how
to react appropriately whether you are a police officer
investigating a suspect radiological weapon, a firefighter
responding to a radiological or nuclear attack, a nurse or
physician caring for potentially contaminated patients, or a
governmental official trying to keep the public safe. To do this,
he draws upon his extensive experience in the military, the several
years he worked directly with emergency responders, his service on
a number of advisory committees, and multiple trips overseas in the
aftermath of the Fukushima accident and on behalf of the
International Atomic Energy Agency, Interpol, and the Health
Physics Society.
