Radiobiology's War of Words RADIATION AND HEALTH The Biological Effects of Low-Level Exposure to Ionizing Radiation. Robin Russell Jones and Richard Southwood, eds. John Wiley&Sons, New York, 1987.

Prior work has established the zebrafish embryo as an in vivo model for studying the biological effects of exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation. One of the known effects of radiation is to ...

It’s not just ionizing radiation that causes direct damage to biological macromolecules. As anyone who has ever had a sunburn knows, ultraviolet light can cause quite a lot of damage too.

This is triggered by ionizing radiation such as from radioactivity or from space. The effect damages two neighboring molecules and ultimately leads to the breaking of bonds – like the ones in ...

This article describes the early history, dosimetry, and irradiators used in the irradiation of protozoa. It also discusses mode of action of ionizing radiations on protozoa and their effects on ...

As the paper explains, “ [Ionizing radiation] exerts its biological effects through two mechanisms: direct action and indirect action.

The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) in Bethesda, Md., is a Department of Defense (DoD) research laboratory and the nation's authority on the effects of ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation of such energy that it can detach electrons from atoms or molecules, which causes changes at the atomic level when interacting with matter including living ...
