Description/Abstract:
PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE EFFECTS OF KNOWN DOSES OF VARIOUS RADIATIONS ON NORMAL HUMANS IS MAINLY INDIRECT. IT COMES FROM CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS WITH MICE, RATS, RABBITS, AND MONKEYS IN THE RADIOBIOLOGICAL LABORATORY, FROM ANALYSES OF FINDINGS IN THERAPEUTICALLY IRRADIATED SICK HUMANS, AND FROM RETROSPECTIVE STUDIES OF ACCIDENTAL HUMAN RADIATION EXPOSURES. THE GENERAL FINDINGS IN THE RADIATION ACCIDENT PATIENTS REVIEWED IN THIS REPORT ARE NOT NOVEL. THEY CORRESPOND WITH THOSE REPORTED IN A NUMBER OF OTHER SITUATIONS IN WHICH HUMANS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO SIGNIFICANT WHOLE-BODY RADIATION OVEREXPOSURE.
