Is the risk of dying from asbestos exposure greater than the risk of dying from long-term smoking?
The risk of dying from asbestos depends on how intense the asbestos exposure was, how often it occurred, and how long it lasted - and whether you were using any protective measures. The risk of dying from smoking depends on how long you have been smoking, how many cigarettes you smoke per day, and sometimes, how long has it been since you stopped smoking. So for some the risk of asbestos is greater than the risk of smoking and for others the risk of smoking is greater than the risk of asbestos. The important things to know are that: # Both smoking and asbestos exposure are risks that are avoidable, # You can take action to reduce your risks, even if you don't completely avoid the exposures, and # If you both smoke and have an asbestos exposure, your total risk is not simply the sum of the two risks, but the product of them (i.e. the risk of one multiplied by the risk of the other)

Is it true that the longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer the person is to the radiation the greater the risk?
Yes, this is true. The longer a person is exposed to radiation and the closer they are to the source of radiation, the greater their risk of harm. The amount of radiation absorbed by the body is directly related to the duration and proximity of exposure.
What is most common risk in radiation exposure?
The most common risk associated with radiation exposure is the increased likelihood of developing cancer. Ionizing radiation can damage DNA within cells, leading to mutations that may result in tumor formation over time. The risk is dose-dependent, meaning that higher levels of exposure generally correlate with a greater risk of cancer. Other potential risks include acute radiation sickness at very high exposures, but cancer risk remains the primary concern for lower levels of radiation.
