Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 1 ISBN 9789211422634

Description

The wide readership of this book by individuals, government officials, scientists and medical specialists is due to concern about the possible hazards of natural and man-made sources of radiation. This publication presents the consequences of exposures to radiation by the use of radiobiological research and results of epidemiological studies. It also summarizes and evaluates sources of human radiation exposures, discusses principal features of radiation risk perception and gives a brief summary and indication of perspectives. Volume 1 comprises the main text of the 2006 report to the General Assembly and 2 scientific annexes: Annex A, epidemiological studies of radiation and cancer, and Annex B, epidemiological evaluation of cardiovascular disease and other non-cancer diseases following radiation exposure.

Volume

v. 2 ISBN 9789211422702

Description

The purpose of this annex is to summarize the literature on non-targeted effects associated with exposure-ionizing radiation and, where possible, to evaluate how such effects may affect risks associated with radiation exposure, the understanding of radiation to induced carcinogenesis, and the mechanistic basis for interpreting epidemiological data on radiation effects.
