Abstract:The energy dose and the ion dose are used in radiation chemistry, whereas the equivalent dose is only applied in radiation biology and in the field of radiation protection. Sensitive parts of the body...The energy dose and the ion dose are used in radiation chemistry, whereas the equivalent dose is only applied in radiation biology and in the field of radiation protection. Sensitive parts of the body with respect to external radiation sources are the hematogenous organs, the gonads, and the eyes. Internal radiation sources are dangerous than external ones because shielding is impossible and the incorporated radionuclides may be enriched in certain organs or parts of the body and affect them over long periods of time. With respect to radiation protection, the relation between radiation dose and damage, in particular the effects of radiation in cells, is of the greatest importance. The effects of radiation on microorganisms, plants, and animals differ appreciably. Safety regulations and rules for the operation of radiochemical laboratories depend strongly on the activities to be handled and on the kind of radiation emitted.Read More
