Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the effects of exposing mammalian embryos to various forms of ionizing and nonionizing radiation. Although some clinical applications will be alluded to, the primary purpose will be to present the quantitative information derived from animal experiments. A detailed consideration of the clinical implications and clinical interpretation of the hazards of ionizing and nonionizing radiation are discussed in other monographs (Brent and Gorson, 1972; Brent and Harris, 1976).
