What causes an osseous neoplasm?
An osseous neoplasm, or bone tumor, can be caused by genetic mutations, previous radiation exposure, or Paget's disease. Some tumors may also develop without a known cause. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant.
What is radiation dermmatitis?
Irritation or damage to the skin caused by radiation exposure: two examples are sun burn and beta burns.
What is one hazard of exposure to infrared radiation?
One hazard of exposure to infrared radiation is skin burns. Prolonged or intense exposure to infrared radiation can heat up and damage the skin, leading to burns similar to those caused by exposure to heat sources like fire or hot surfaces.
Skin cancer can be caused by too much exposure to what?
Ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun.
Did Enrico Fermi die from radiation exposure?
Yes, Enrico Fermi died from stomach cancer, which was not directly caused by radiation exposure but may have been related to his work with radioactive materials.
What is a change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals called?
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to variations in genes and can sometimes result in negative effects on an organism's traits or health.
What is the atomic bomb sickness?
This must refer to radiation sickness, which is caused by exposure to high doses of radiation. It can begin with minor bleeding and more exposure will cause hair to fall out and failure of organs.
What is a precancous lesion?
A precancerous lesion is a preliminary stage of skin cancer caused by genetics, and exposure to x-ray radiation or UV radiation.
What scientist died of radiation exposure?
Marie Curie died from aplastic anemia, a condition likely caused by her prolonged exposure to radiation during her groundbreaking research on radioactivity.
What is sunburns?
A burn on the skin caused by excessive exposure to the sun or other sources of ultraviolet-A and -B radiation.
Radiation burns can be caused by high doses of what form of ionizing radiation?
Radiation burns can be caused by exposure to ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, or high-energy particles. These types of radiation have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, leading to tissue damage and burns in the affected area.
How is chronic poisoning caused?
A person may accumulate toxic amounts of a chemical in his or her body through daily exposure to the chemicals. Common routes of exposure include
