Are passive smoking, air pollution and obesity a greater mortality risk than major radiation incidents? [PDF]
, 2007 Background Following a nuclear incident, the communication and perception of radiation risk becomes a (perhaps the) major public health issue. In response to such incidents it is therefore crucial to communicate radiation health risks in the context of ...
