Ionizing Radiations and the Nervous System

摘要: The rapid increase in the applications of atomic energy—ranging from military hardware to power generation medicine—and potential dangers associated with this form energy have focused attention both scientific community as well public on an understanding biological effects these radiations. beneficial uses such development nuclear plants and use radiations medical diagnosis treatment raised difficult questions weighing benefits against risks. Subcommittees United States National Academy Sciences (NAS)-National Research Council (NRC) (BEAR Committee) published a series reports between 1956 1961 dealing different aspects radiation.(1) None reports, however, dealt specifically nervous system. More recently, 1972, another committee NAS-NRC reported entitled “The Effects Populations Exposure Low Levels Ionizing Radiation.”(2) In that report some references are made 1955 General Assembly Nations established permanent Committee Scientific Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR). consists representatives 15 member nations, it periodically human exposure ionizing 1969 system.(3)
