Book excerpt: Excerpt from Effects of the Rays of Radium on Plants The investigations embodied in this Memoir were begun in the autumn of 1904, with the intention of making them a minor problem during a year's residence at the New York Botanical Garden. On account of the scarcity of radium the work progressed slowly, for it was seldom that more than one or two experiments could be conducted simultaneously. When it became certain that the facilities of the Garden laboratories would be available for an indefinite period, other work was made secondary to the radium problem, for the relatively large quantities of radium and radium preparations placed at my disposal created an opportunity too valuable to let pass unimproved. Chapter I. contains, in concise, non-technical language, information that is widely scattered in publications, many of which are not easily accessible or familiar to botanists. This information, however, is absolutely essential in order to understand the discussions that follow, and it was deemed advisable to include it. The problem was originally suggested by Dr. William J. Gies, Consulting Chemist of the New York Botanical Garden, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge his helpful suggestions during the earlier progress of the work. The investigations would not have been possible had it not been for the munificent liberality of Mr. Hugo Lieber, of the firm of H. Lieber Co., of New York City. Mr. Lieber has freely placed at my disposal some $3,000 to $4,000 worth of standard preparations of the purest radium bromide yet obtained, as well as weaker preparations of radium, polonium, and radio-tellurium. As stated in detail in the pages that follow, he has devised apparatus, and made other apparatus at my suggestion, without which many of the experiments could not have been performed. It is not possible adequately to express in words my sincere gratitude to Mr. Lieber, not only for his great liberality, but also for the kindly interest he has maintained in the research throughout its entire progress.

Book excerpt: This book describes hazards from radon progeny and other alpha-emitters that humans may inhale or ingest from their environment. In their analysis, the authors summarize in one document clinical and epidemiological evidence, the results of animal studies, research on alpha-particle damage at the cellular level, metabolic pathways for internal alpha-emitters, dosimetry and microdosimetry of radionuclides deposited in specific tissues, and the chemical toxicity of some low-specific-activity alpha-emitters. Techniques for estimating the risks to humans posed by radon and other internally deposited alpha-emitters are offered, along with a discussion of formulas, models, methods, and the level of uncertainty inherent in the risk estimates.

Book excerpt: This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors, the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure, and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.

Book excerpt: This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the hydrogen bomb indelibly associated radioactivity with death, many chemists, physicists, botanists, and geneticists were excited thinking that radium held the key to the secret of life. Luis Campos examines the many and varied connections between early radioactivity research and understandings of vitality, both scientific and popular, in the first half of the twentieth century. As some physicists and chemists early on described the wondrous new element and its radioactive brethren in lifelike terms ( decay, half-life, and frequent reference to the natural selection and evolution of the elements), many biologists of the period eagerly sought to bring radium into the biological fold. They did so with experiments aimed at elucidating some of the most basic phenomena of life, including metabolism and mutation, and often saw in these phenomena properties that in turn reminded them of the new element. These initially provocative links between radium and life proved remarkably productive in experimental terms and ultimately led to key biological insights into the origin of life, the nature of mutation, and the structure of the gene. "Radium and the Secret of Life" traces the half-life of this connection between the living and the radioactive, while also exploring the approach to history that emerges when one follows a trail of associations that, asymptotically, never quite disappears."
