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.
What are the causes of the radiological accident in mayapuri?
A cobalt-60 from Delhi University, which was unused for 25 years, was sold to unsuspecting scrap dealers. They then dismantled it and due to the harmful radiation emmited by the cobalt-60 pencils, there were 5 people who were exposed to radiation in which one died.
How are you protected from cosmic radiation from outer space?
Well not a lot actually. If there is a burst of radiation there is not a lot the can do about it. The people in side it will hide where there is the most space station between them and the radiation that includes hiding behind one an other. And for meteorites there is even less you can do about it besides moving out of the way. The station can protect itself from pea or pebble sized micrometeorites, thanks to its two separated layers of titanium alloy hull, but more than that and the station itself needs to maneuver out of the way or suffer huge amounts of damage.
What two things can happen to electromagnetic energy that enters the earths atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
Can people be immune to radiation?
No. Radiation is a physical force.

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.
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.
What were people exposed to during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Radiation, loss of houses and food.
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.
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.
What are the affects of working in radiography?
If you're careful, nothing. Sloppy people would get excess radiation, but would also get fired.
How does radiation cure people?
Radiation cure disease by being toxic to the tissues exposed to it. This means it would destroy both diseased and healthy tissues alike. Fortunately, modern technology allows us to focus the radiation more precisely and narrowly.
What is the negative of radio wave?
Negative of the radio are the radiation effects that affect of radiation Two ways in which radiation can hurt people are radiation poisoning and cancer from radiation. Radiation poisoning occurs when a person is exposed to large amounts of radiation. to get an idea of how much 300 rem is, it might help to know that we are exposed to about 0.2 rem each year just by living our normal lives. A person who received 300 rem, A unit for measuring absorbed doses of radiation, equivalent to one roentgen of x-rays or gamma rays,( roentgen -a unit measuring a radiation dose) if untreated, will probably die soon after of radiation poisoning.
Do people searching for mri technician jobs know about the levels of radiation that they are exposed to?
In times long by, radiation technicians were often exposed to large amounts of radiation, thus resulting in squamous cell carcinoma. This was especially the case with technicians that held small children for the x-rays and MRIs. This has since been research and reviewed and any hospital or medical setting that does not provide protection to radiation technicians should be reported at once.
Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
