Fish and vegetables radioactivity pollutant in low dosePaperback, 21 June 2013

Low dose exposure in the environment is an important area of research nowadays.This book is based on our investigation on assessment of alpha-activity for fishes and vegetables along with annual dose committed using samples from 4 important sites in this regard. A comprehensive background for this work is presented before the data. The book is organized as follow: Chapter 1 presents a brief introduction about ionizing radiation as pollutants .objectives of our work related with fish and vegetables are described in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3 discussion has been taken up on radioactive particles. Discussion with dose and units of radioactivity has been made in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 contains discussion on radio-toxicity and annual limits of intake. Topic of discussion of Chapter 6 is the effects of ionization radiation on cells and tissues. The Chapter 7 deals with a brief overview of detectors for analysis of environmental radio-nuclides. In Chapter 8 details of measurement has been incorporated. In Chapter 9, the subject matter of discussion is alpha radioactivity and dose assessment at different sites. The book ends with a conclusion .
