What is the long effect of radiation on the body and organs?
The effects of radiation are dependent on the intensity and duration of exposure. See related links below for effects.
Who invented radiation oncology?
Radiation oncology arose as our understanding of radiation and its effects on the body improved and was coupled with a greater knowledge of cancer and how it could be treated. As x-rays were discovered in the late 19th century, the history of this branch of medicine is long. It would be unfair and inaccurate to ascribe to a single individual the invention of radiation oncology.
Diseases from the a-bomb?
Radiation doesn't cause disease. It causes its own 'sickness' by destroying cells and their ability to repair and replicate. In many cases, radiation actually kills diseased cells and the germs that carry them. And by damaging the healthy body, it can make the body more susceptable to catching diseases from other sources. As can it cure cancer it can also cause it. One of the most natural sources of radiation is the sun is known for causing skin cancer due to a combination of radiation and UV rays. Other issues are tumors brought on by cell mutation and sterilization from overexposure.
Is ink poisoning more dangerous that lead poisoning?
Ink Poisoning is not more dangerous than lead poisoning though they are equally dangerous. They both occur with long exposure to ink or lead. They are generally not fatal but have damaging effects on the body if not dealt with.
What are the effects of inactivity on the body?
Effects of inactivity on the body are adipose tissue to build up among other things
How does stress affect the body?
The emotional and physical effects of stress can be damaging, and fatal to the body. Stress causes an imbalance in the body that can lead to strokes and other fatalities.
What two factors determine the severity of the effects of radiation?
The factors that determine the severity of the effects of radiation are the dose of radiation received and the type of radiation exposure. Higher doses of radiation and exposure to certain types of radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can lead to more severe effects on the human body.
What is the long effect of radiation on the body and organs?
The effects of radiation are dependent on the intensity and duration of exposure. See related links below for effects.
Is marijuana or alcohol more damaging to the overall body?
Alcohol by far as it does damage to your body and causes addiction.
What damage does radiation do?
Radiation exposure causes damage to the cells of your body, which can mutate them. Mutated cells are sometimes referred to as cancer cells, and thus radiation can give you cancer. There are different effects from different kinds of radiation, but mutating cells is the basic form of damage that radiation does.
What are the some health effects of francium?
Francium is highly radioactive and decays rapidly, producing gamma radiation which can damage cells and tissues in the body. Ingesting or inhaling francium can cause acute radiation sickness, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Prolonged exposure to francium can increase the risk of cancer due to its damaging effects on DNA.
Does ultraviolet radiation tan skin?
Yes, UV radiation is what causes you to tan. It also causes skin cancer. (The reason your body tans is to pretect itself from cancer causing UV radiation.)
What is the effects of Alpha radiation?
The effects differs that what it is effecting if we talk about humans than in general, alpha radiation is of small risk to humans. Compared to its cousins, beta and gamma particles, alpha radiation has an extremely low penetration depth and is often completely blocked by the outer layers of skin or even the surrounding air. Although external exposure poses little to no risk to humans, internal exposure, such as through inhalation or ingestion, can prove to be extremely damaging to the body. It causes cancer kidney damage radiation poisoning
What kind of radiation is least harmful to humans?
External to the body, alpha is not dangerous because it is easily stopped by the skin, but it becomes dangerous if ingested because it can then access internal sensitive organs directly. For electromagnetic radiation, visible light and infra-red are the least damaging. Ultra-violet causes sunburn)
How are radiation injuries diagnosed?
The various effects of radiation on the body are well recognized. Patients who are scheduled to undergo radioactive treatments should be informed of the potential side effects they will encounter
What is the reaction of the human body to gamma rays?
Gamma rays can penetrate deep into the body, damaging cells and DNA. Exposure to high levels can cause radiation sickness, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and hair loss. Long-term effects can include an increased risk of cancer and other health issues.
Which form of nuclear radiation is least damaging to humans?
Alpha, from outside the body, because alpha is stopped by the skin, a sheet of paper, or a few inches of air. From inside the body, however, alpha is one of the most dangerous forms of radiation.
