Inhaltsangabe
This handbook provides a comprehensive review of radiation present in the environment, its sources, dose measurement techniques, exposures in natural and man-made radiation environments, policies governing radiation safety, societal applications of radiation technology, radiological and nuclear events, preparedness, response, and mitigation of radiation emergencies. It covers natural and man-made radiation environment with an emphasis on renewed interest in nuclear energy as a clean and green source of power generation. Additionally, it reviews various approaches to understand the fate and behaviour of radionuclides in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It also presents nuclear technology's diverse applications, from diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine to materials modifications and sustainable waste management strategies and the role of ionizing radiation in ensuring food security and safety. The handbook also highlights the existing (internationally adopted) radiation protection policies, which are originated from linear-no-threshold (LNT) model of dose-response characteristics. The scientific basis of LNT-model and its limitations at low doses prompts a revision of the exiting radiation protection policies for better utilization of the benefits of ionizing radiation.
The handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for students, academicians, scientists, engineers, and policymakers interested in seeking an in-depth knowledge of radiation and the multifaceted applications of radiation technology while protecting human health and the environment.

His responsibilities encompass safeguarding nuclear and radiological safety across the entire nuclear fuel cycle. Internationally renowned for his scientific expertise, administrative prowess, and diplomatic acumen, Dr. Aswal has an extensive list of accomplishments. He has edited nine books, authored over 50 book chapters, filed nine patents, and published more than 500 journal and conference papers, with an impressive H-index of 56 and over 11800 citations. Dr. Aswal's leadership extends beyond his scientific endeavors. He has held administrative positions in prestigious national institutes, including Director of the National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL) in New Delhi, Director of the Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CEERI) in Pilani, and Director of the Science, Technology, and Development Studies (CSIR-NISTADS) in New Delhi. He has also chaired the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and served as Secretary of the Atomic Energy Education Society (AEES) in Mumbai. His notable achievements include implementing the redefined International System of Units (SI) based on fundamental and atomic constants and establishing the National Atomic Clock Ensemble to generate Indian Standard Time (IST), renowned for its exceptional accuracy.
Furthermore, Dr. Aswal has contributed significantly to India's nuclear program, developing key technologies such as radiation detectors and hydrogen sensors. He has also pioneered technologies to address societal challenges, including recycling plastic waste, measuring air pollution and enhancing security features for currency notes. Internationally, he has been invited to deliver lectures and engage in collaborative research at esteemed institutions across Japan, France, Germany, Israel, the United States, and more. He is a Fellow of the International Association of Advanced Materials (FIAAM), Sweden, and the National Academy of Sciences, India (FNASc), among other prestigious honors. Additionally, he serves as Chairman or member of various national committees of the Government of India, further cementing his impact and influence in the scientific community.
