- Summary
- There is a very large fund of accumulated knowledge concerning the effects of low doses of radiation on human health. Yet, the information available is not very useful in its crude, unintegrated form. A major goal of this book is to present and analyze the evidence concerning effects of low doses of radiation upon humans, and to demonstrate that a systematic and consistent evaluations of the evidence is now possible, with very useful practical results

- Contents
-
- Introduction to radiation and human health
- Energy interchanges and health
- Origins of human cancer : implications for radiation causation
- Induction of cancer and leukemia by ionizing radiation
- Systmatic approach to the quantitative aspects of radiation carcinogenesis, with personal and public-health risk estimates
- Human epidemiological evidence concerning radiation carcinogenesis : the studies involving external exposure
- Induction of human breast cancer by ionizing radiation
- From peak percents to whole-body cancer doses, by age at irradiation
- Practical applications of the whole-body cancer dose
- Partial-body irradiation and cancer doses for specific kinds of cancers
- Evidence for a linear or supralinear dose-effect relationship and for the nonexistence of a "threshold" dose
- Handling the internal emitters : dosimetry and applications
- Internal alpha-particle emitters : radium and radon-daughters
- Biologically important, man-made alpha-particle-emitting nuclides : plutonium and other transuranics
- Lung cancers already produced by plutonium inhalation
- Plutonium-induced lung cancers in a plutonium energy economy
- Likely radiation doses and their effects in a nuclear-power economy
- Ionizing-radiation exposures from natural sources, consumer products, and particular occupations
- Ionizing-radiation exposures from medical diagnostic and therapeutic irradiation
- Induction of human leukemia by ionizing radiation
