However, it is often unknown whether they are actually due to radiation, since the dose or dose-rate are not necessarily associated with the changes observed. This book brings together the works of radiation biologists and ecologists to provide reliable radioecology data and gives insight into future radioprotection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book examines the environmental pollution and radiation exposure, and contains valuable data from abandoned livestock in the ex-evacuation zone and from wild animals including invertebrates and vertebrates, aqueous and terrestrial animals, and plants that are subjected to long-term exposure in the area still affected by radiation. It also analyzes dose evaluation, and offers new perspectives gained from the accident, as well as an overview for future studies to promote radioprotection of humans and the ecosystem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince the biological impact of radiation is influenced by various factors, it is difficult to scientifically define the effects of low-dose\/low-dose-rate radiation. However, the detailed research data presented can be combined with the latest scientific and technological advances, such as artificial intelligence, to provide new insights in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a unique and valuable resource for researchers, professionals and anyone interested in the impact of exposure to radiation or contamination with radioactive materials. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manabu Fukumoto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811382174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811382178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Manabu Fukumoto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452812050687,"sku":"9789811382178","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ee0403c-1923-4d86-b0b7-10b2741f167f.jpg?v=1761930627","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/low-dose-radiation-effects-on-animals-manabu-fukumoto-9789811382178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
