Abstract

Here is a complete guide to the wide variety of uses of radioisotopes in biological investigations. A useful alternative to multiple sources, the book provides an informative introduction to the theory behind this growing technology, as well as practical advice on isotope and equipment choice, radiation protection, and safety measures. Procedural advice on in vivo and in vitro labelling, autoradiography, and immunoassay, will be applicable in several types of investigations, and practitioners will find the convenient summaries of U.S. and U.K. legislation governing these materials to be a particularly useful timesaver.

Abstract

""The WHO Handbook on Indoor Radon"" is a key product of the WHO International Radon Project, which was launched in 2005. The ""Handbook"" focuses on residential radon exposure from a public health point of view and provides detailed recommendations on reducing health risks from radon and sound policy options for preventing and mitigating radon exposure. The material in the ""Handbook"" reflects the epidemiological evidence that indoor radon exposure is responsible for a substantial number of lung cancers in the general population. The material is organized into six chapters, each introduced b

Abstract

"Uranium mining in the Commonwealth of Virginia has been prohibited since 1982 by a state moratorium, although approval for restricted uranium exploration in the state was granted in 2007. Uranium Mining in Virginia examines the scientific, technical, environmental, human health and safety, and regulatory aspects of uranium mining, milling, and processing as they relate to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of assisting the Commonwealth to determine whether uranium mining, milling, and processing can be undertaken in a manner that safeguards the environment, natural and historic resources, agricultural lands, and the health and well-being of its citizens. According to this report, if Virginia lifts its moratorium, there are "steep hurdles to be surmounted" before mining and processing could take place within a regulatory setting that appropriately protects workers, the public, and the environment, especially given that the state has no experience regulating mining and processing of the radioactive element. The authoring committee was not asked to recommend whether uranium mining should be permitted, or to consider the potential benefits to the state were uranium mining to be pursued. It also was not asked to compare the relative risks of uranium mining to the mining of other fuels such as coal. This book will be of interest to decision makers at the state and local level, the energy industry, and concerned citizens."--Publisher's description.
