Description
The above mentioned conference was held with a view to examining perspectives on the biological effects of low dose radiation in conjunction with biological defense mechanisms and their implications for human health and risk assessment. Recent studies indicate low-dose radiation may produce stimulating effects or adaptive responses, and therefore might not be harmful as previously believed. Key note lectures and overviews provide a comprehensive review of the issues, with many new significant findings paving the way for deeper insights into mechanisms underlying contradictory scientific observations. This is the first book presenting the current status of research on laboratory and epidemiological phenomena following low dose irradiation.
