- W3023024370 abstract "Publisher SummaryThis chapter describes the biological effects of radiation on cells, tissues, organs, and individuals. It provides an overview of the units of measurement of radiation and its effect and reviews the philosophy and practice of setting limits on exposure. All living species are exposed to a certain amount of natural radiation in the form of particles and rays. In addition to the sunlight, without which life would be impossible to sustain, all beings experience cosmic radiation from space outside the earth and natural background radiation from materials on the earth. There are rather large variations in the radiation from one place to another, depending on mineral content of the ground and on the elevation above sea level. Man and other species have survived and evolved within such an environment despite the fact that radiation has a damaging effect on biological tissue. The situation has changed somewhat by the discovery of the means to generate high-energy radiation, using various devices such as X-ray machines, particle accelerators, and nuclear reactors. When radiation interacts with biological tissue, energy is deposited and ionization takes place that causes damage to cells. The effect on organisms is somatic, related to body health, and genetic—related to inherited characteristics. Exposure limits are set by use of data on radiation effects at high dosages with a conservative linear hypothesis applied to predict effects at low dose rates." @default.
