Bioflavonoids as Important Component of Biological Protection from Ionizing Radiation

Biological Dosimetry of Ionizing Radiation

A worsening of the accidental hazards linked to the use of ionizing radiation is currently being observed for four reasons. First, the increasing need for radiation sources in numerous industrial applications (food sterilization, construction, engineering...) leads to an increasing probability of loss of the sources or abnormal/unsuitable use and storage. Second, advances in medicine generate n...

Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation

The study of the biological effects of ionizing radiation started practically at the same time as the discovery of X-rays in 1895. Since the techniques and methods accepted today to quantify radiation dose were absent at that time, first findings and studies were barely qualitative. Nonetheless, harmful effects to man and to laboratory animal species from ionizing radiation were already observe...
