Advances in Radiation Biology

Advances in Radiation Biology, Volume 11, provides an overview of the state of knowledge in the field of radiation biology. The book contains eight chapters and begins with a study on ADP-ribose in DNA repair. This is followed by separate chapters on the inhibition of DNA repair; the photochemistry and photobiology of furocoumarins and their applications in biology and medicine; radiation risk from combined exposures to ionizing radiations and chemicals; and in vitro studies of drug-radiation interactions. Subsequent chapters deal with free-radical processes in radiation and chemical carcinogenesis; heavy-ion tissue radiobiology; and radon concentrations in the environment and their impact on health.
