Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing
What are the benefits of americium?
Some applications of americium are:- ionizing source for smoke detectors- component of neutron generators as Am-Be- source in nuclear gauges densitometers- standard source of radiations: gamma, alpha- source for gamma ray radiography- precursor to prepare Cm, Bk, Es, Db, No, Lw- laboratory usesOther uses are proposed for the future.
Why is americium important for society?
Some applications of americium are:- ionizing source for smoke detectors- component of neutron generators as Am-Be- source in nuclear gauges densitometers- standard source of radiations: gamma, alpha- source for gamma ray radiography- precursor to prepare Cm, Bk, Es, Db, No, Lw- laboratory usesOther uses are proposed for the future.
What is the mechanism of action of methylxanthine as a bronchodilator?
Methylxanthines inhibit phospodiesterase which is enzyme that degrade cAMP to AMP. Thus lead to an increase in cAMP
Is californium used for nuclear radiation?
Yes, isotopes of californium emit gamma radiations, alpha radiations and neutrons; on these properties are based the application of californium.
What are radiation rays?
Ionizing radiations are alpha, beta, gamma rays, etc.
What are the products of a nuclear reaction?
The main product is a new isotope; ionizing radiations are also emited.
How a gas is ionized?
For example applying an electrical discharge, a very high temperature or by irradiation with ionizing radiations.
What has the author Richard Heinrich Herz written?
Richard Heinrich Herz has written: 'The photographic action of ionizing radiations in dosimetry and medical, industrial, neutron, auto- and microradiography' -- subject(s): Radiography, Photographic dosimetry
Is UV visible and IR range considered non ionizing radiation?
No of course not.answ2. Light and heat are ordinary EM (electromagnetic) radiation.Ionizing radiation is sufficiently energetic to remove parts of an atom, and to thus ionize it.The UV from sunshine may damage the molecular bonds, but this is not ionizing radiation.
What is given off by radioactive elements such as radium and Plutonium?
From these isotopes decay products are obtained and also ionizing radiations.
How chemistry relate to rad tech?
Radiochemistry is the branch of chemistry who is studying chemical reactions under ionizing radiations.
What can cause the molecules in the air to split into charged particles?
The causes are: photochemical decomposition, electrical discharges, irradiation with ionizing radiations from the cosmic space.
How do atoms become ionized in the atmosphere?
Ionizing of atoms in the atmosphere is due to interactions with ultraviolet light or other radiations and particles from the cosmic space.
What is the Mechanism of action of tiemonium methylsulphate?
+mechanism of action of tiemonium methylsulfate
What is mechanism of action eclipta Alba as hepatoprotective?
What is mechanism of action eclipta Alba as hepatoprotective?
How may you be exposed to Ionizing radiation?
Common sources of ionizing radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, ultra-violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. Everybody is exposed to small amounts of these radiations every day just from general background radiation or from sunlight.
