yeah! almost all radioactive materials are dangerous, from these material radioactive rays are originated which are namely alpha,beta,gamma and when these rays strike to the body so it leave incurable burn,however its small amount is also harmful such as: the radioactive material named radium are found in varieties of wrist watches so its also harmful for human health
X-Rays are electromagnetic rays and these are also harmful but not so much therefore physicians avoids for X-rays reports but in severe condition they are compel to do that advise
There are two type of radioactive element one is natural radioactive and other is artificial radioactive element
From natural radioactive element radioactive rays are always originated so,radioactive materials are dangerous even it is artificial or natural
Radioactive materials emit dangerous radiation; most of this will be blocked by a box of lead.
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
Radioactive materials contain unstable atoms that decay and emit radiation, while non-radioactive materials do not emit radiation. Radioactive materials can be harmful to living organisms due to their ionizing radiation, whereas non-radioactive materials are generally considered safe for everyday use.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
Hazard Class 7 is the class for radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
To fully explain radioactive decay you need quantum mechanics.
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
Generally all highly radioactive isotopes are dangerous.
Actinium is dangerous because is very radioactive.
Radiation therapists have a potentially dangerous job since they work with radioactive materials, however, there are numerous safety procedures, and if followed correctly, the job is not particularly dangerous. The median yearly salary for a radiation therapist in the U.S. is $74,813.
