Approaches to attribution of detrimental health effects to occupational ionizing radiation exposure and their application in compensation programmes for cancer


Add your own review!

Overview

Workers exposed to ionizing radiation in the course of their work may claim for compensation if they develop cancer. However, cancer is a common disease, especially in older age, and most cancers will be caused by nonoccupational risk factors. Compiled by international experts, this book examines in detail the scientific basis for risk attribution, focusing in particular on the methodological issues associated with attributing individual cancers to previous occupational radiation exposures. The general features of compensation schemes are also presented, along with examples of compensation schemes from different countries that illustrate a variety of approaches.
