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 کاملPublic exposure to natural radiation sources (Ramsar Case Study)
Introduction: Human beings are naturally exposed to ionizing radiation in any environment. There are two main contributors to radiation exposures from natural sources: cosmic rays, Cosmo genic radionuclides, and radioactive nuclides that originated in the earth's crust. According to the latest data provided by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Rad...
متن کاملSources and measurement of ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The biological effects of UV radiation vary enormously with wavelength and for this reason the UV spectrum is further subdivided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Quantities of UV radiation are expressed using radiometric terminology. A particularly important term in clinical photobiology is the standard erythema dose (SED...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Radiation Dose Rates of Patients Receiving Treatment with I-131 Using Telescopic Radiation Survey Meter
Introduction In order to discharge the patients receiving treatment with large radiation doses of 131I for thyroid cancer, it is necessary to measure and evaluate the external dose rates of these patients. The aim of the study was to assess a new method of external dose rate measurement, and to analyze the obtained results as a function of time. Materials and Methods In this study, a telescopic...
متن کاملDevelopment and statistical assessment of a radiation safety literacy measurement tool
Background: The publicchr('39')s understanding of radiation and protection of radiation harm is not high. Therefore, it is meaningful to know the radiation safety literacy level in terms of health care. This study developed a measurement tool that can help to identify the actual condition of radiation safety literacy and conducted the statistical assessment of the developed tool. Materials and ...
