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.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Why is nuclear radiation dangerous to human being'S?
Nuclear radiation can cause genetic mutations in our DNA, which can cause cancers. If the genetic mutations occur in the germ cells, then our gametes (sperm and egg cells) could have genetic mutations that could be passed on to our offspring. Also, if radiation levels are high enough, people can get radiation sickness, which can be fatal.
What are the 2 names of radiation?
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation
Can radiation from americium kill people?
Americium being very radioactive this is possible; but this depends on the time of exposition to radiation, amount of americium, shielding of the source etc.
Why is background radiation important?
They are used to study solar wind (radiation from the sun and stars). Date the universe based on particles being emitted from the source and intensity. Study chemical abundance in the universe
What are the people of japan being tested for?
Nuclear Radiation
What is an Example of where energy transfer by radiation is occurring?
Some examples of energy transfer by radiation are: 1) standing in sunlight and feeling the heat on your face (UV radiation is entering the skin, converting to infrared radiation, and is absorbed by your tissues); 2) sitting near a fire and feeling the heat on your skin (infrared radiation transfer); 3) chemical reactions that occur due to a source of radioactivity (gamma radiation, being high-energy photons, travel from the radioactive source through the air into the target sample, and induce chemical reactions
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 being a committee chair so important and why is this position?
bagels are a good source of carbohydrates
What is it being When 100 percent of radiation bounces off of an object?
The radiation is being totally reflected.The object is absorbing momentum from the radiation, and is experiencinga force ... being 'pushed' ... in the direction that the radiation was travelingbefore the bounce.I'm not making that up.
Why is radiation being created?
Its being created because nuclear power plants are giving of to much radiation

Why doesn't storing a radioactive source in a freezer stop radiation from being emitted?
Because radioactivity is a naturalphenomenonthat is independent on any external conditions of temperature,pressure,humidity, ... etc.
