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 substances that were exposed. 606 $aRadiation$xMeasurement$vCongresses 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 610 $aPhysics 610 $aScience 615 0$aRadiation$xMeasurement 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 676 $a539.2 700 $aTanabe$b Tetsuo$01433817 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996475870903316 996 $aRadiation, an energy carrier$93584235 997 $aUNISA
