Section I of this article gives the basic principles of dosimetry including radioactive equilibrium and activity, and an extensive mathematical treatment. Section 2 deals with permissible radiation doses for (1) people working with ionizing radiation, (2) people not working directly with radioactive sources but close to these sources, and (3) the total population. Section 3 is devoted to considerations of physico-chemical reactions induced by radiation in biological substances, and section 4 is concerned with radiation damage and radiation protection. Each of the various types of radiation ( alpha , beta , gamma , and neutron radiation) are considered separately. The final section deals with the use of radioisotopes in industry, particularly for the production of pig iron. Radioisotopes are used to measure the wear of blast furnace walls, in metallurgical investigations, for studies of gas composition, gas flow, gas pressure, metal and sinter fiow, etc. (OID)
