Book Description
A dynamic and comprehensive overview of the field of health physics
This trusted, one-of-a-kind guide delivers authoritative and succinctly written coverage of the entire field of health physics including the biological basis for radiation safety standards, radioactivity, nuclear reactors, radioactive waste, and non-ionizing radiation, as well as radiation dosimetry, radiation instrumentation, and principles of radiation protection.
This thorough overview of need-to-know topics, from a review of physical principles to a useful look at the interaction of radiation with matter, offers a problem-solving approach that will serve readers throughout their careers.
More than 470 "Homework Problems" and 175+ "Example Problems"
Essential background material on quantitative risk assessment for radiation exposure
Unique Integration of industrial hygiene with radiation safety
Authoritative radiation safety and environmental health coverage that supports the Inteational Commission on Radiological Protection's standards for specific populations – now including ICRP 130 recommendations
High-yield appendices to expand comprehension of chapter material
Essential coverage of non-ionizing radiation, lasers and microwaves, computer use in dose calculation, and dose limit recommendations
NEW to this edition! Expanded information on tissue and radiation weighting factors, advances in detectors, and the Fukushima accident
