Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
How do radiation technicians know when they have been over exposed by radiation?
Radiation technicians use personal dosimeters to measure their radiation exposure levels. If their dosimeter readings exceed safety limits, they may have been overexposed. In such cases, they must follow established protocols for exposure incidents and seek medical evaluation if necessary.
Is it safer to be exposed to ultraviolet radiation or infrared radiation?
It is generally safer to be exposed to infrared radiation compared to ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower energy levels, so it is less likely to cause damage to the skin and eyes compared to ultraviolet radiation which can lead to sunburn, skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
What radiation was Pierre Curie exposed?
Pierre Curie was exposed to ionizing radiation, primarily from his work with radioactive materials like uranium. This exposure eventually led to his death due to long-term health effects such as aplastic anemia.
What does irradiated mean?
Means something has been exposed to radiation.
Is a person who has been exposed to external radiation by definition radioactive?
No.
What do you do if your animal has been exposed to radiation?
Take it to the vet... Now!

What can you do to protect your body from all types of radiation?
Don't break anything. Because when get a X-rays you have been exposed to radiation
Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
When do you encounter radiation energy?
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
What is the proper way to get an average of doses radiation?
I guess you are talking about how much radiation you can absorb in a given time. usually you express this in term of dose, that is how much time you have been exposed to a specific radiation. so, you just add the doses you have been exposed to. if you reach 1mSv/year for work reasons and you aren't part of a special team, you should start to worry about this. If you are a worker which is occupationally exposed to radiation, you should not reach the 20mSv/year threshold.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
Is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light?
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
Is radiation pneumonitis able to be passed to others?
Radiation pneumonitis is in relation to being exposed to radiation, therefore the only way another person could get this inflammation of the lungs is by having their person exposed to radiation as well.
Can you be exposed to radiation from a person that just had it?
No, you cannot be exposed to radiation from a person who just received radiation treatment. The radiation used in treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy does not linger on the person after treatment, so there is no risk of exposure to others.
