Well... if we're talking about acute doses...it depends on several factors.
- Source of radiation: were you standing next to Chernobyl or getting an x-ray?
- Type of radiation: alpha particles travel only about a centimeter before they disintegrate while gamma rays will go through your body like a hot knife through butter.
- Proximity: how close were you to the source?
- Time: how long?
- Number of doses: was it all in one go or several repeated doses?
As you can see... there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
What else can I help you with?
What is light in physics?
Lightis an electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.
What is the current residual radiation of hiroshima and nagasaki?
Today, the background radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the same as the average amount of natural radiation present anywhere on Earth. It is not enough to affect human health. http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/kids/KPSH_E/question_box/question12.html
Why is radiation sickness so dangous?
We need to be prepared for anything including nuclear radiation, plutonium and other poisons entering our environment wherever we are. Radiation effects include cancer, genetic and DNA damage, reproductive damage, hormonal damage, and thyroid damange (that's why they want you to take potassium iodine, another dangerous toxin) but I wouldn't. There is a much safer substance (nascent iodine).
Can you recover from radiation sickness?
You can become seriously ill if you do nothing about this! It can cause cancer, radiation sickness, physical deformities in your body, and your children, and yet to be born children. Please take a few precautions and stock up on a few items that can help you and your family avoid being contaminated with this radiation. Full avoidance may not be possible, but there are measures you can take if you do get exposed to some of the toxic radiation. There is one type of natural substance that can trap and detox harmful nuclear radiation from your body and water. These special radiation pills made of natural zeolites (for the body ) or Adya Clarity (for water) can very well save your health and even your life.
What insects can survive the atomic bomb?
None if directly exposed to thermal flash or blast. Almost any if only exposed to the radiation. The LD50 for ionizing radiation is much higher in insects than it is in mammals.
How long does radiation take to kill a human being?
The time it takes for radiation to kill a human being depends on the level of radiation exposure. High doses of radiation can cause death within days or weeks, while lower doses may take longer to show fatal effects, such as months to years. The specific type of radiation and the individual's overall health can also impact the time it takes for radiation to be lethal.
How much is 3.6 roentgen in terms of radiation exposure?
3.6 roentgen is equivalent to a high level of radiation exposure, which can be harmful to human health.
How much radiation can a human withstand?
The amount of radiation a human can withstand depends on factors like the type of radiation, dosage, exposure time, and individual characteristics. In general, the human body can tolerate low doses of radiation without immediate harm, while high doses can cause severe damage to tissues and organs. There are established safety limits for occupational and medical exposure to radiation to minimize health risks.
What type of radiation is emitted by your skin?
Infrared radiation is emitted by the human skin. This type of radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be felt as heat.
How much radiation do we get in a day?
On average, we receive about 10-30 microsieverts of radiation per day from natural sources such as the sun, Earth, and cosmic rays. This level of radiation is considered safe and is not harmful to human health.
What is artificial radiation?
Artificial radiations is radiation that is cause by human activities. This radiation adds to the natural radiation that is around.
Why can't we take too much X-rays?
You are exposed to a mild dose of radiation
How much screen can the human brain take?
BaNaNa
Why are rems preferred for measuring health effects of radiation?
REMs (Roentgen Equivalent Man) are preferred for measuring health effects of radiation because they take into account the different biological effects of ionizing radiation on human tissues. REMs provide a more accurate assessment of the potential harm caused by radiation exposure compared to other units such as sieverts or grays, which do not consider the specific impact on human health.
How much fishbiotic amoxicillin can a human take?
Is fishbiotic any different then human amoxicillin
Human e mit infrared radiation?
yes, humans emit infrared radiation
Can human with using radiation morph into winged beings?
Radiation is lethal to Humans, So no.
