What damage does radiation do?
Radiation exposure causes damage to the cells of your body, which can mutate them. Mutated cells are sometimes referred to as cancer cells, and thus radiation can give you cancer. There are different effects from different kinds of radiation, but mutating cells is the basic form of damage that radiation does.
What is the lethal dose of radiation in grays and how many grays of radiation are considered lethal?
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.
How do x rays and gamma rays damage people?
X-rays and gamma rays can damage people through an ionizing effect, where they can penetrate the body and damage cells by breaking chemical bonds in molecules, leading to potential mutations and cell death. This can result in radiation sickness, cancer, and other health effects depending on the dose and duration of exposure.
What factors determine the extent of radiation damage?
The factors that determine the extent of radiation damage include the type of radiation, the dose received, the duration of exposure, the sensitivity of the tissues or organs affected, and the body's ability to repair damage. Additionally, factors such as the type of cells in the affected area and individual genetic variations can also influence the extent of radiation damage.
3) What blood test is available that will give an accurate estimate of radiation dose?
The dicentric chromosome assay is a blood test that provides an accurate estimate of radiation dose. It detects and quantifies chromosome damage caused by radiation exposure and is used in cases of suspected or accidental radiation exposure.
Does the ocean turn like a tornado during a hurricane?
It dose not turn like a tornado.
About how fast dose a tornado travel across the ground?
average of 30mph and can reach over 70mph
How many tornado dose nebraska have per year?

Does ancient mew do 1000 damage?

Is toxicity is a qualitative property or a quantitative property?
It is a quantitative property because a substance toxic level can be measured and assigned a value Save
Do cumuous clouds start tornadoes?
On very rare occasions a waterspout may form from a cumulus cloud. If it strikes land and dose damage it is considered a tornado. Such landfalling waterspouts are almost always weak. The vast majority of tornadoes form from cumulonimbus clouds.
The dose of a test drug that causes death in the animal during short term toxicity testing is referred to?
A: Lethal Dose
Dose nerve damage pain come and go?

When garbage is picked up dose it become property of the city?
service
What is a physical property that dose not change with the amount of matter?
disbursement or oz.
Are drugs with low therapeutic index more effective?
Not necessarily. Simply put, a low TI indicates that the dose that causes a beneficial effect is "close" to the dose that causes unacceptable toxicity or lethality. A drug with a large or wide TI means that the dose that causes the beneficial effect is far lower than the dose that causes toxicity or lethality. If a drug has a TI of 2, then the drug dose that causes toxicity is twice that which causes the benefit. So a mistake of taking 2 pills instead of 1 can be disastrous. If a drug has a therapeutic index of 13, then the dose expected to cause toxicity is 13x that which causes the toxic effects, and is pretty safe. To compare effectiveness of a drug, you have to compare drug efficacy and TI. For a large TI drug, sometimes you just need to increase the dose. In the example above where TI=13, you could increase the dose 6 0r 7 times and you may not see an increase in toxic effects.
