Sampling and sample preparation for radiometry -- chapter 6. Nuclear and radiological safety -- chapter 7. Emergency preparedness.This book presents the radiological sources that could be a threat to humans and the environment. It discusses how to deal with this threat in terms of measurements, prospective models, and regulations. The transport of radioactive substances in ecosystems is discussed, together with remedial actions in case an accident should happen. The book covers radiation sources, measurement methods, modeling, and calculations, as well as strategies in emergency preparedness (including strategies for first-responders and radiological triage)--Provided by publisher.Series in medical physics and biomedical engineering.environmental impactengEUROVOCradioactivityengEUROVOCdisaster risk reductionengEUROVOCRadioactive pollutionRadiation, BackgroundRadiationEnvironmental aspectsenvironmental impact.radioactivity.disaster risk reduction.Radioactive pollution.Radiation, Background.RadiationEnvironmental aspects.363.738Isaksson Mats1961,1242791Raaf Christopher L.1968-FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910158574603321Environmental radioactivity and emergency preparedness2882892UNINA
