You need to protect ourself from ionising radiation because you can die.
Exactly!radiation causes radiatgion poisoning which leads to death if a kio3 solution isn't taken imediatly..also these solution prevents thyroid cancer but only that.other types can't be prevented so cancer and other anomalie even teratogenesis
What else can I help you with?
What would you need to protect yourself from the heat and atmosphere on Mercury?
a radiation suit
Can computer radiation give you sore throats?
Yes. That is why you need to put on sun lotion to protect the radiation rays from reaching to your face and throat.
What would you need to protect yourself from beta radiation?
To protect yourself from beta radiation, you would need materials like plexiglass, Lucite, or water, as they can effectively absorb beta particles. Wearing protective clothing, such as lab coats or gloves, can also help minimize exposure. Additionally, maintaining a safe distance from the radiation source and following proper safety protocols are essential for protection.
Can lead save you from a nuclear blast?
Whether lead could protect you from a nuclear blast or not depends on how far from the centre of the blast you are, how thick the lead is and how powerful the blast is. Lead alone would only really protect you from the ionising radiation given off by the blast; provided that the lead is thick enough and that you were far enough away from the blast itself. If you were quite close to the blast then the explosion itself is the biggest danger to you as it is powerful enough to flatten buildings and reaches temperatures of tens of millions of degrees. A hiroshima-sized blast would vapourise almost everything within at least a 1 mile radius and would make short work of lead (which has a boiling point of only 1749 degrees.) Lead is only used to shield from ionising radiation because it is very dense and so a thinner layer of it can absorb the same amount of radiation as a much thicker layer of a less dense material. This means that, while lead alone would not make much difference close to the blast, if you were further away (preferably in a bunker) then the lead (if thick enough) would be useful to absorb most of the ionising radiation given off by the blast A better solution for protection from radiation and the blast is earth and rock. However more radiation is absorbed by smaller thicknesses of denser materials so you would need much more material between you and the blast then if you used lead. However the larger thickness of material may protect you from the blast and thermal radiation effects.
What do you need to do to protect yourself from UV radiation on Mars?
no need to worry that early about UV protection on mars because man has not even set foot on it yet....
Why is it that radiation levels need to be monitored?
Radiation levels need to be monitored to ensure that they are within safe limits and not harmful to human health or the environment. Monitoring helps to detect any abnormal increases in radiation levels, enabling prompt action to be taken to protect people and the environment from potential harm.
How can you protect yourself from nuclear radiation and attacks?
You need a shelter either on your backyard or in your basement. That would get you through the blast if you get inside during the blast. After that, you need supplies to survived the rest.
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.
Why do you need to use safety screens in a science lab?
to protect someone 4rm over exposure radiation which causes genetic mutation, baldness,sickle cell anaemia etc.
Why you need to know about radiation?
Knowing about radiation is important because exposure to high levels can be harmful to human health, leading to various health problems such as cancer, radiation sickness, and genetic mutations. Understanding radiation also helps in ensuring safety measures are in place to protect individuals working in occupations that involve exposure to radiation, as well as in properly handling radioactive materials to prevent environmental contamination. Additionally, knowledge about radiation is essential for medical professionals to effectively utilize radiation therapy in cancer treatment.
What kind of experience does one need for radiation therapist jobs?
To be a radiation therapist or radiotherapist, one will need to have a degree in radiation therapy. Similarly, radiation therapists with a Master or Doctoral degree can also prescribe medication.
Is it safe to be around a person undergoing chemo and radiation therapy for cancer when you are pregnant?
for people undergoing chemo it is just alright to be near that person. however there is a certain type of radiation therapy wherein you need to keep your distance with that person. such form is called internal radiation therapy wherein the cancer patient will receive implantable radiation source. the best way for you to protect your pregnancy from chemo and radiation is to stay away from them. avoid handling chemo drugs and stay away from any radiation source.
