As for radiation itself, many introductions or textbooks have been published, as in radiochemistry, radiobiology, and radiology. In most of them, the biological effects of radiation exposure are the main subjects, which often enhance the feeling that radiation is dangerous, and the effects produced by lower-dose exposure that are difficult to see are hardly discussed. The present volume mainly focuses on how radiation carries energy, how energy is absorbed in substances as absorbed doses (Gy) or dose equivalents (Sv), how damages or risks appear with the absorbed dose and why the effects of the exposure appear quite differently, depending on properties of the substancesthat were exposed. 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aIons 606 $aNuclear and Particle Physics 606 $aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection 606 $aMedical Physics 606 $aLow- and highly-charged ions 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aIons. 615 14$aNuclear and Particle Physics. 615 24$aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection. 615 24$aMedical Physics. 615 24$aLow- and highly-charged ions. 676 $a539.2 700 $aTanabe$b Tetsuo$01433817 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910574054903321 996 $aRadiation, an energy carrier$93584235 997 $aUNINA
