Radiation of any type speeds up the growth rate of cells and in high doses can cause burns. The ever-so-common sunburn is actually a radiation burn because the sun gives off radiation. This is also why people who stay out in the sun without proper protection from it are more likely to get skin cancer. This is because skin cancer is the rapid and uncontrolled growth of cells.
Exposure to nuclear radiation can damage cells and DNA, leading to an increased risk of cancer and other health problems. High levels of radiation exposure can also cause acute radiation sickness, which can be fatal. Additionally, radiation can have long-term effects on the environment and ecosystems.
Radiation is the phenomenon of changing energy into light. When it comes to the dangers, we would talk about cancer, leukemia and burns in the skin.
Definitely! Radiation is certainly harmful to humans and even it can cause skin cancer too under over exposure....
YES, RADIATION POISENING
The good about radiation is it can stop the abnormally growing cells in cancer,and radiation will let us visuallized the entire human body. Disadvantage with radiation when in great amount can cause sterility.
Radiation is emitted when unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay, releasing energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. This process can occur naturally in certain elements or as a result of human activities, such as in medical procedures or nuclear reactions. The emitted radiation can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or X-rays.
It is possible to receive some scattered radiation from a patient undergoing treatment, but the amount is typically very low and not harmful. Healthcare providers take precautions to minimize exposure and protect themselves and others in the vicinity.
Sunlight can accelerate skin aging due to the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays can break down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and age spots over time. It is important to protect the skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing.
To reduce the effects of cellphone tower radiation, you can limit your exposure by keeping your distance from the towers, using hands-free devices or speakerphone when making calls, and minimizing the time spent on calls when in close proximity to the towers. Additionally, you can consider using shielding materials or devices that are designed to block or redirect radiation.
Radiation generally describes non harmful waves such as radio waves and light wave while nuclear radiation usually describes emission of harmful gamma rays.
Because the Blast and radiation are considered harmful to all lifeforms on the Earth.
Because it emits ionising radiation
Lack (or reduced) fission products. Fission products emit most of the harmful radiation in fallout.
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.
Nuclear engineers work in labs working with radiation and sometimes even actual nuclear product. They learn how to work around problems and discover new ways radiation can be helpful or harmful to the human body.
since it is a NUCLEAR power plant, radiation can be released, which is really harmful to people and others. :)
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
atomic bomb caused harm while the nuclear energy can be both harmful(radiation) and harmless(for electricity).
Nuclear radiation can be both friend and foe. It is used in various medical applications, such as cancer treatment and diagnostic imaging. On the other hand, exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation can be harmful and have detrimental effects on human health and the environment, as seen in nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Its not the nuclear energy, per se, that is harmful, it is the ionizing radiation that comes from the nuclear energy that is harmful. Also, its not the pregnant woman that's the issue, its the developing fetus that's the issue. Ionizing radiation is extremely harmful to developing fetal tissue, because any errors introduced at this stage have a very risk risk of compromising the viability of the fetus. Last, and lets be crystal clear on this point... nuclear energy itself is harmful to no one. Its the "generation of nuclear energy", i.e. the reactor itself, the power plant itself, that is the issue, if, in any way possible, there is an issue. You would not want a pregnant woman working as a radiation worker any more than you would want to give a pregnant woman an x-ray.
