Natural Sources of Ionizing Radiation
Many of our students seem to have well-defined but not necessarily well-founded opinions on the biological effects of ionizing radiation. During discussions of nuclear transformations in introductory chemistry and physics courses we might be able to help these students better understand the magnitude of these effects, and perhaps sort out the plethora of units with which radiation measurements ...
متن کاملManagement of ionizing radiation injuries and illnesses, Part 3: Radiobiology and health effects of ionizing radiation.
Ionizing radiation exposure can induce profound changes in intracellular components, potentially leading to diverse health effects in exposed individuals. Any cellular component can be damaged by radiation, but some components affect cellular viability more profoundly than others. The ionization caused by radiation lasts longer than the initial inciting incident, continuing as 1 ionization inci...
متن کاملAtmospheric Ionizing Radiation and Human Exposure
Atmospheric ionizing radiation is of interest, apart from its main concern of aircraft exposures, because it is a principal source of human exposure to radiations with high linear energy transfer (LET). The ionizing radiations of the lower atmosphere near the Earth’s surface tend to be dominated by the terrestrial radioisotopes especially along the costal plain and interior low lands and have o...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation 81 3. Summary of Health Effects of Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation with sufficient energy to remove electrons from their atomic or molecular orbital shells in the tissues they penetrate (Borek 1993). These ionizations, received in sufficient quantities over a period of time, can result in tissue damage and disruption of cellular function at the molecular level. Of particular interest is their effect on deoxyribonucleic...
