Description and Table of Contents
Description
Topics presented and discussed in this volume include: radioactive contamination by nuclear tests, the Chernobyl accident and some related biological studies; methodology and quality control for low dose measurements, methodology of epidemiology in low dose radiation exposure; stimulatory effects of low dose radiation; adaptive response and genetic effects of low dose irradiation; and radiation paradigm regarding risk from exposure to low dose radiation.
