Why are some types of radiation ineffective as physical agents of microbial growth?
Wiki User

low penetrating power, for example, Uv light. Uv light has longer wavelenth than gamma ray and x-ray, therefor has lower penetrating power. It can only sterilize surfaces and heat sensitive items.

Are many chronic conditions associated with microbial agents?
true
What are microbial agents?
Antimicrobial agents are compounds that inhibit or kill microbes or microorganims, e.g bacteria and fungi. Antimicrobial agents can be chemicals or biological in compostion. Chemical based antimicrobial agents are antibiotics where are biological based are antimicrobial peptides. Antimicrobial agents inhibit or kill microbes by breaking there cell wall or inhibiting some metabolism or bind to DNA and prevent the replication, thus stopping the multiplication of the microbes in the body
What Ways to deliver biological agents?
which type of device includes any point source that emits radiation
How the agents of weathering physical cause the breakdown of rocks?
The physical weathering agents are basically the water and wind. But the rocks decay mostly because of wind. Wind blows continuously for ages and the rocks that stand in the way get decayed in the long run.
What is safety radiation?
Radiation Safety is the profession and process of understanding and dealing safely with radiation. This includes agents such as radio waves, radar, microwave ovens, bright lights, lasers, tanning booths, ultra-violet curing lamps, mercury vapor lights, x-rays, and radioactive materials.
Are many chronic conditions associated with microbial agents?

What has the author Atoke Olaide Akinsola written?
Atoke Olaide Akinsola has written: 'The effect of surface active agents on microbial culture'
What are some main agents of physical weathering?
Natural agents of physical weathering: Rain, sand (driven by the wind), sunlight, the freeze/thaw cycle. Man-made agents of physical weathering: Acid rain.
Do sport agents need a physical?
yes you will need a physical
What are physical agents?
A HAZMAT suit.
What are the physical agents in the mining and quarrying industry?
The physical agents in the mining and quarrying industry include the guidelines to the health, safety and welfare at work.
What causes genetic mutations?
Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequences in a genome. Most often, these minor mistaks are corrected by in-built repair mechanisms and many mutations go unnoticed an are not harmful. Harmful mutations cause diseases in many cases. There are several factors that promote the formation of mutations. These factors are called mutagenic agents. Mutagenic agents are divided into: chemical and physical mutagens. UV radiation is an example of a physical mutagen and Nitrous acid is an expample of a chemical mutagen
What chemical agents produce temporary disabling conditions that can be physical or mental?
These substances are pharmacodynamic agents.
What are 5 physical weathering agents?
Temperature Change Pressure Change Animal Action Wind, Water, and Gravity Plant Growth
