For example, modes and energies of radioactive transformation, radiation attenuation and absorption, dose coefficients, and environmental transport parameters are included for many of the common circumstances encountered in laboratory and industrial settings. these are cross referenced to standard compendiums for straightforward use when more in-depth listings need to be consulted.

Other topics include: -Atom structure and radioactivity -Radiation protection standards and programs -Radiation interactions and dose -Environmental radiological assessment -Radiation shielding -Radon -Internal radiation dosimetry -Radioactive waste Safety professionals as well as students and teachers will find Principles of Radiological Health and Safety to be an invaluable addition to their professional and academic libraries.
