67,500 rems or 90,000 to 105,000 for German cockroaches
The lethal dose of radiation is typically around 4 to 6 grays. This amount of radiation is considered to be lethal and can cause severe damage to the body's cells and tissues.
yes, they are radiation tolerant
Radiation is lethal to Humans, So no.
Yes, exposure to high levels of gamma radiation can be lethal. It can damage cells and tissues in the body, leading to various health effects like radiation sickness, organ failure, and even death. It is important to limit exposure to gamma radiation and take appropriate safety precautions in environments where it is present.
The lethal radiation dose for humans is around 4 to 5 Gray (Gy) of ionizing radiation received all at once. This amount of radiation would cause severe damage to the cells and tissues in the body, ultimately leading to death within a few days or weeks.
Yes, about 6 times better, but they aren't the champs of radiation resistance.
Yes, and cockroaches live pretty much anywhere a human can live, except roaches can survive intense radiation.
false. All animals are affected by radiation. Some can withstand more than others like cockroaches.
Ozone
Radiation ionizes atoms, breaking their bonds and altering biological chemistry. It can also change the nucleus by activation involving neutrons. In sufficient amounts, the body is unable to compensate, and that radiation can be lethal.
Cockroaches are known for their resilience and ability to survive extreme conditions, but it is unlikely that they would survive a nuclear explosion due to the intense heat, pressure, and radiation levels produced. The blast would likely be lethal to them.
The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
