Medical management of radiation accidents: capabilities and deployment principles of the Bundeswehr Institute of Radiobiology.

abstract：:Beginning in the 16th century, what was later found to be radon was thought to be causing sickness among miners. During the first decades of the 20th century, exposure to radon was seen as being healthy. During the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s researchers thought that the gamma radiation in residences could produce genetic ...
