Can Ultraviolet kill all type of bateria?
It totally depends on the level of UV radiation, it can be harmless to bacteria but through unlikely odds can cause mutation. a high level can kill most bacteria, but knowing there probally is one type able to take on this level of radiation.
What sound intensity will cause permanent hearing damage?
Much depends on the duration that the person is exposed to the sound. Under UK law an employer should provide hearing protection if the average sound level in the workplace exceeds 80db over the course of a day. Peak sound pressure levels should be no more than 135dB.
Is an IQ of 86 bad?
IQ is a measure of an individual's intelligence against the average for an age-group or other grouping of people, so an 'ordinary' person has (by definition) an IQ of 100. Anything above this is ahead of the average and anything below is under the average level.
Is Colorado high in cosmic radiation?
There are two factors which determine the relative level of cosmic radiation at different points on the earth's surface. First, because the earth's magnetic field deflects the charged particles in cosmic radiation toward the magnetic poles, cosmic radiation levels are generally higher the closer you are to a magnetic pole, i.e., the higher your geomagnetic latitude. Second, since the earth's atmosphere provides physical shielding from cosmic radiation, cosmic radiation levels are generally higher at higher altitudes where there is less atmosphere between you and the vacuum of space. As it turns out, the impact of differences in altitude is much greater than the impact of differences in geomagnetic latitude. Because Colorado has a high average elevation, cosmic radiation is generally higher there than at other locations with lower altitudes.
What is a good IQ level for a 27 year old?
100 is the average.
What happens when a person is exposed to high level of UV-B radiation?
UV-B radiations are very harmful. They can cause various fatal diseases in human beings.
What is a safe amount of radiation?
Depends on the TYPE of radiation, how long you are exposed and the person being exposed. In the case of ionizing (nuclear) radiation, pregnant women and children have a lower safe level than other persons. For non-pregnant adults, 5,000 millirems per year is the maximum legal occupational exposure. However, the goal is always ALARA- a dose As Low As (is) Reasonably Achievable- meaning you do not expose a person for no reason. Other radiation- such as radio wave energy- has different levels. There is NO "safe" level that does not entail some risk of injury- just levels that are not found to be especially injurious.
A person begins to suffer radiation sickness at an exposure level of what rem?
100 rem
What is the maximum touch voltage in dry conditions?
The maximum level of voltage allowed for a person to be exposed safely.
What level of awareness would be engaged for the average person driving his or her car?
higher-level awareness
Will an average person be in a coma if their blood alcohol level thirty percent?
Yes, but an "average person" would not drink that much to start with.
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
What is the average time for a radioactive sample to decay to a safe level?
Radiation decays at a set rate. For example, if the level of radiation today is 5000, then in 1000yrs, it'll be a level of 2500. In 5000yrs, it'll be a level of 2000 and so and so on. The radiation in Chernobyl and Japan will remain there for hundreds, if not thousands and thousands of years. Because of this rate of decay that slows over time, depending on the size of the radioactive sample, it could take decades.
Does a person get sick every time exposed to an antigen?
No. You are exposed to antigens all day every day. If you are allergic to the antigen then you may have an allergic reaction or not depending on a lot of factors such as the manner of exposure and the level.
What is one problem with using nuclear power?
The ionising alpha radiation that radiates from the uranium-235 used to generate electricity, is dangerous and when cells are exposed to it they can suffer damage in the DNA on a molecular level which causes the cell to malfunction. This can lead to cancer or cell death (though sometimes cancer does not occur for up to 15 years) or on extremely high doses of radiation, many cells die and tissue ceases to function. This basically means that whoever it is that has been exposed to radiation can immediately get radiation sickness (not nice) and in the longer term organ failure and cancer.
