Introduction to Health Physics

This guide offers students a background and basic understanding of the biophysical bases of radiation, radiation safety standards and the key factors in radiation protection.

A revised and expanded edition, the book's contents include: radiation dosimetry, basic physical principles, biological effects of radiation, criticality control and radiation surveillance.

The author also highlights new findings on non-ionizing radiation (laser and microwaves), computer use in dose calculation and dose limit recommendations from the International Commission on Radiation Protection.

It aims to provide students with a framework and practical introduction to scientific principles and the problem-solving approaches needed in daily radiation protection practice.
