well if radiation is in a gaseous form, it can mix with the dust and water in clouds and when you get hit with the radiated raindrops atthe wrong spot, it can affect you. Or you could just touch something radioactive.

Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. We are often exposed to low dose radiation.
When people are exposed to excess UV radiation what can happen?
When people are exposed to excess UV or ultraviolet radiations they can be exposed to various fatal diseases. Most common of them being skin cancer and eye cataract.
What harm can radiation cause us?
That depends on type of radiation, dosage, and area exposed.
What happens if a magnet is exposed to radiation?
Usually nothing.

Can exposure to radiation from working in nuclear power cause parkinsons disease?
Radiation has been known to cause neurological disorders. Parkinsons disease is therefore a risk of being developed in certain people who are exposed to the radiation. This applies to those who are exposed to the radiation more than others.
When do you encounter radiation energy?
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
Are people exposed to gamma waves every day?
No, most people are never exposed to them. Only if your around radiation which is very unlikely and if you were you would have gear to where you wouldn't have to worry about it.
Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. We are often exposed to low dose radiation.
What were people exposed to during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Radiation, loss of houses and food.
Is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light?
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
Define the term radiation exposure?
In the field of physics related to health, the term radiation exposure refers to people being exposed to radiation either through laboratory testing or in treatment of diseases.
Is radiation pneumonitis able to be passed to others?
Radiation pneumonitis is in relation to being exposed to radiation, therefore the only way another person could get this inflammation of the lungs is by having their person exposed to radiation as well.
Why is it inaccurate to say that only 31 people died as a result of the Chernobyl disaster?
Because after the nuclear reactor had a meltdown many people were exposed to radiation giving them cancer, and various other problems due to radiation exposure which would kill them. and not only does it effect the people that were exposed to it at that moment but radiation mutates your genes which are passed down to your kids causing many complications in newborn children.
