Beschreibung
An overview of the sources of ionising radiation in the environment, the effects of these unstable atoms on humans and biota, and their use in tracing environmental processes. Discussing frameworks developed to manage exposure, it is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers interested in radioecology and radiological protection.
