Describes hazards from radon progeny and other alpha-emitters that humans may inhale or ingest from their environment. Techniques for estimating the risks to humans posed by radon and other internally deposited alpha-emitters are offered, with a discussion of formulas, models, methods, and the level of uncertainty inherent in the risk estimates.
This book describes hazards from radon progeny and other alpha-emitters that humans may inhale or ingest from their environment. In their analysis, the authors summarize in one document clinical and epidemiological evidence, the results of animal studies, research on alpha-particle damage at the cellular level, metabolic pathways for internal alpha-emitters, dosimetry and microdosimetry of radionuclides deposited in specific tissues, and the chemical toxicity of some low-specific-activity alpha-emitters. Techniques for estimating the risks to humans posed by radon and other internally deposited alpha-emitters are offered, along with a discussion of formulas, models, methods, and the level of uncertainty inherent in the risk estimates.
