Which one of the following is physical stressor lead ionizing radiation hcv or hbv?
ionizing radiation
What are the best ways to protect against the effects of exposure to radiation?
Ionizing radiation is "stopped" by passing the radiation through matter which becomes ionized. By definition, ionizing radiation will ionize material that it passes through. Ionization involves transferring energy, so the entity doing the ionizing loses energy. That is the simple answer. A closer look reveals greater complexity. One needs to be clear about language to be accurate in the question and answer. Normally when referring to ionizing radiation, one is referring to high energy particles that are causing the radiation. Normally, when we say such radiation is "stopped" we mean it is diminished to that the harmful effects are insignificant. One does not "stop" such radiation but rather one causes it to lose energy. There will always be a few stray particles with high energy even after the vast majority have lost so much energy that ionization has stopped occurring. If one wants to "stop" ionizing radiation, then creating a large enough (thick enough) barrier will effectively reduce the radiation to insignificance. Of course, depending on the nature of the radiation, some materials may be more effective than others in removing the energy from the radiation. Though ionization, i.e. exicting or removing electrons of atoms, is an important energy loss process, there are also processes that involve the interaction of the ionizing radiation with the nuclei of the material through which it passes. Bremsstrahlung is one such process and so is simple transfer of kinetic energy from the incident particle to the particle in the material. These kinds of processes are larger or smaller depending on the mass and energy of the "ionizing radiation" and so an effective discussion of how well a material can "stop" ionizing radiation depends on the ionizing radiation itself.
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
Which ionizing radiation is least penetrating?
alpha
How does ionizing radiation works for sterilixe insects?
Ionizing radiation is a method of area wide pest control management. Ionizing radiation works by making insects unable to reproduce (sterile). Gamma radiation is most often used for this task, though sometimes high energy electrons or X-rays are used.
What is another name for radiation exposure badges?
Badges used to measure exposure to ionizing radiation are usually called radiation dosimeter badges.
Acute Radiation Syndrome results from level external exposure to ionizing radiation. What sub-syndrome is normally seen at the lower range of exposure?
Neurovascular Syndrome
What is ionizing radiation and how can we reduce the risk of it damaging us?
Ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation or particulate radiation having enough energy per quantum to remove electrons from atoms, thus creating positive ions.The types of electromagnetic radiation with enough energy per photon (the quantum of electromagnetism) to ionize atoms are:ultraviolet Cx-raysgamma raysThe types of particulate radiation with enough energy per particle (i.e. quantum) to ionize atoms are:alpha particlesbeta particlescosmic rays (both primary and secondary)The only way to reduce the risk is to minimize exposure, but remember exposure cannot be completely eliminated as all of these types of ionizing radiation are present at low dose rates all around us.
How can a person reduce exposure from a known external source of ionizing rad?
Metal doors
What is an Radiation Sickness?
Radiation poisoning, also called radiationsickness or a creeping dose, is a form of damage to organ tissue due to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
What are some of the health risks of radioactivity?
Depending on the amount and duration of exposure, exposure to ionizing radiation carries with it risk of:radiation burnshair loss"radiation sickness"cancerreduced life spangenetic damage
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Would you classify radiation as ionizing radiation?
Yes, but there are a number of radiation besides ionizing radiation.
What is the purpose of wearing a film badge when working with ionizing radiation sources?
The film badge measures radiation exposure; an exposed film badge indicates how much radiation a worker has recieved.
What is it called when x-ray are initially absorbed by the body?
ionizing radiation
