Nuclear Chemistry Radiation in Your Life Background Radiation Uses for Radiation

A. Background Radiation Ionizing Radiation nuclear radiation can remove electrons from neutral atoms creating charged ions can break bonds in DNA (this is BAD for you) Background Radiation naturally in environment Sources: eyeglasses, Sun, concrete, potatoes, water, your neighbor,…….etc. Video clip is “Everyday Radiation” from Teacher’s Domain (2 min)

A. Background Radiation radon-222 gas

A. Background Radiation radon-222 gas

A. Background Radiation radon-222 gas Video clip is “Radon Radiation” from Teacher’s Domain (2 min)

Typical Radiation Doses (in mrem) Approximate lethal dose (LD50) if no treatment, entire body in a short period 450,000 Causes radiation sickness (when absorbed in a short period) no effect (0-25,000) slight blood changes (25,000-100,000) platelets & WBCs (100,000-200,000) nausea, hair loss, damage (200,000-400,000) When delivered in a single dose, increases the risk of developing cancer by 1% 10,000 Average annual dose for all people in US (300 natural, 60 medical) 360 Dose from a single full-body CT (CAT) scan 4,500 chest ... 760 abdomen…1200 pelvis…1000 head/neck…370 PET scan 2000 Medical/Dental x ray 10-40 Natural background, Denver, CO, USA (per year)(excluding radon) 180 Average airline passenger (10 flights/year) 3 Additional annual dose if you live in a brick rather than a wood house 7 U. S. population from fallout 0.06 U. S. population from nuclear power plants (per year) 0.002
