Description
Background Information -- Molecular and Cellullar Response to Ionizing Radiation -- Radiation-Induced Cancer: Mechanisms, Quantitative Experimental Studies, and the Role of Genetic Factors -- Heritable Genetic Effects of Radiation in Human Populations -- Background for Epidemiologic Methods -- A-Bomb Survivor Studies -- Medical Radiation Studies -- Occupational Radiation Studies -- Environmental Radiation Studies -- Inegration of Biology and Epidemiology -- Risk Assessment, Models, and Methods -- Estimating Cancer Risk -- Summary and Research Needs.
Addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. This work includes detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. It also develops comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.
