一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>Health physics is a professional field that cuts across the basic physical, life, 
<br>and earth sciences as well as such applied areas as toxicology, industrial 
<br>hygiene, medicine, public health, and engineering. The scientific and engineering 
<br>aspects of health physics are concerned mainly with (1) the physical measurements 
<br>of different types of radiation and radioactive materials, (2) the establishment 
<br>of quantitative relationships between radiation exposure and biological damage, 
<br>(3) the movement of radioactivity through the environment, and (4) the design of 
<br>radiologically safe equipment, processes, and environments. Keywords:Health 
<br>Physic, Radiation Protection.
