Radiation: Fundamentals, Applications, Risks and Safety provides information on the use of radiation in modern life, its usefulness and indispensability. Following a brief introduction on the fundamental principles of radiation fundamentals, the book describes existing radiation technologies not reflected in existing literature. Real-life radiation results from survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Chernobyl and Fukushima are included. Sample discussions include the ionization of inner atomic shells that play an essential role in radiological processes and the questions of transformation of the energy of ionizing radiation in matter. This book analyzes existing data to provide a clearer understanding of the impact of radiation phobia that has developed in recent decades. Explores the science of radiation and the effects of radiation technologies and biological processes Analyzes the elementary processes of ionization and excitation Summarizes information about inner shells ionization and its impact on matter and biological structures Discusses quantum concepts in biology and clarifies the importance of epigenetics in radiological processes Includes case studies focusing on humans irradiated by low doses of radiation and its effects
