This book aims to explain radiation from a somewhat different
aspect than its traditional image as something that is scary,
dangerous, hazardous, and so on, to produce the correct
understanding that radiation is carrying energy, and to convince
readers that radiation is not "scary" but controllable and useful.
As for radiation itself, many introductions or textbooks have been
published, as in radiochemistry, radiobiology, and radiology. In
most of them, the biological effects of radiation exposure are the
main subjects, which often enhance the feeling that radiation is
dangerous, and the effects produced by lower-dose exposure that are
difficult to see are hardly discussed. The present volume mainly
focuses on how radiation carries energy, how energy is absorbed in
substances as absorbed doses (Gy) or dose equivalents (Sv), how
damages or risks appear with the absorbed dose and why the effects
of the exposure appear quite differently, depending on properties
of the substances that were exposed.
