Features: This book focuses on the prevention and treatment of pollution hazards caused by nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, systematically and comprehensively introducing the fundamental knowledge of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, as well as the engineering theory and methods for radiation pollution protection. The book is divided into 13 chapters. Chapters 1–3 and Chapters 7–8 respectively elaborate on the fundamental knowledge of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, including radioactivity, rays, biological effects, harm to the human body, and protective standards. Chapters 4–4 and Chapters 9–13 introduce the technologies for preventing these two types of radiation, as well as a series of development and application links such as product design, processing, use, maintenance, transportation, storage, and detection, covering various protective engineering measures and safety supervision and management measures to prevent excessive radiation, accidental radiation leaks, and unauthorized or ignorant overexposure to radiation. This book can serve as a reference for a wide range of professionals in safety supervision, occupational health, environmental protection, and those engaged in the application of radioactive isotopes, radiation testing, high-frequency mechanical processing, the electronics industry, postal and telecommunications systems, and broadcasting and television departments. It can also be used as a teaching material for students and faculty in safety engineering, environmental engineering, and other related professional fields.
