Radiation safety in biological research laboratories.
Radioisotopes are used in countless experiments in recombinant biological research as tracers. The use of radioisotopes must be controlled to prevent unnecessary exposures to workers and the environment. This chapter outlines a detailed approach to radiation safety in the highly technical biological research setting.
