Synopsis of my book: In today’s world, many people worry about terrorist threat of exploding nuclear or dirty bomb, chemical weapons or biological weapons more than did in the past. This book has tried to reduce their fear by describing the nature of each of these weapons, their adverse health effects and difficulties in using some of them as a weapon of mass destruction. In addition, instead of feeling helpless, the guidelines described in this book can help you to understand the risk you are facing, as well as what you can do to protect yourself and your family- not just from uncertain risks like explosion of dirty bomb, toxic chemicals or harmful infective agents, but also from other risks such as diagnostic x-ray-based procedures, radiation received during flight at high altitude and working in the environment of radiation equipments.
