most women want to know about possible consequences radiology, radioisotope or even television terminal. because knowing about them, prevent from fear. fetus is inevitably placed to some types of radiation. environmental radiation occurs from atmosphere, soil and buildings. total radiation above, ingested and possibly inhaled radioisotopes probably is seventy five-thousandth to one-tenth of ram...

the harmful effects of the long-term ocular exposure to cumulative levels of infrared radiation (ir) in glassblowing and foundries have been recognized since the late 19th century. these effects include cataracts, keratitis, and chronic dry eye problems. therefore, infrared radiation measurements are critical and need to be assessed regularly in the industries and workplaces where there are hig...

Governments and the nuclear power industry have a strong interest in playing down the harmful effects of radiation from atomic weapons and nuclear power plants. Over the years, some scientists have supported the view that low levels of radiation are not harmful, while other scientists have held that all radiation is harmful. The author examines the radiation effects of nuclear bombs dropped on ...

Through various researches and investigations it has been established that high doses of ionizing radiation are harmful to health. There is substantial controversy regarding the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation despite the large amount of work carried out (both laboratory and epidemiological). According to the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis, any amount, however small, of radiati...

  Ionizing radiation has long been known to produce detrimental biological effects. Although these harmful effects are the results of high doses of exposure, some other maladies such as mutation and cancer seems  to be induced at low doses of exposure. In recent decades, however, some pioneer scientists have indicated that ionizing radiation like many other essential agents has toxic effects  ...

Medical application of radiation began a few months after the discovery of X-rays by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen more than 100 years ago. The harmful biological effects of ionizing radiation became apparent shortly after its utilization. Since 1920, health professionals in contact with radiation have worn lead protective clothing to reduce the harmful effects of ionizing radiati...
