| Tóm tắt: | Nature surprisingly unfolds problems that test the ingenuity of man! The mysterious
radiation has been around ever since the Universe came into being. However, over the last
few centuries it has been exploited by humans for useful applications. Though seemingly
useful, radiation acts like a double-edged sword and its indiscriminate use can even have
life-threatening consequences. While radiation exposures to life forms can occur in a variety
of natural settings, human intervention has substantially increased their probability.
Strategic and tactical wars of the future involve the risk of nuclear weapon usage, while
the use of radiological/nuclear material by organized terror groups also poses a legitimate
threat. Such incidents could result in significant loss of human lives, besides socio-economic
losses and irreparable damage to the environment. From a military standpoint, keeping the
man behind the machine fit for defensive operational requirements, often in entirely new
terrains and across conventional borders in diverse and extremely demanding conditions, is
a major challenge. In a nuclear theatre of operations, the task becomes even more arduous
and protecting soldiers, paramilitary personnel and emergency responders against the
deleterious radiation effects assumes paramount importance |
