This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Ionizing radiation consists of energetic particles (photons, electrons, neutron, etc) that can produce ionizations and excitations of atoms and molecules of the interacting medium. It has always been part of the human environment. Along with man-made sources, natural radioactive sources present in the Earth crust and cosmic radiation contribute to our continuous exposure to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can interact with the human body and can...
More DescriptionThis is a Ph.D. dissertation. Ionizing radiation consists of energetic particles (photons, electrons, neutron, etc) that can produce ionizations and excitations of atoms and molecules of the interacting medium. It has always been part of the human environment. Along with man-made sources, natural radioactive sources present in the Earth crust and cosmic radiation contribute to our continuous exposure to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can interact with the human body and can lead to health hazards.
