Radiation Risks in Perspective

By Mossman, Kenneth L.

0 - Default Title
Description
This lively, highly readable work uses radiological risk as a model to illuminate the fundamental problems and possible solutions to public perception, reaction, and policy when facing health risks posed by radiation. The book discusses the methods used to measure threat, the contextual balancing of cost versus benefit when prioritizing expenditure, and the public's extremist tendency to push toward zero risk tolerance, which results in a forfeiture of valuable advances in favor of an illusion of safety. Filled with detailed explanations and illustrative case studies, this book clearly articulates the problems in current risk assessment processes and presenting viable management solutions.
