Health risk of radioactive material How does radioactive material case health effect ? strip away electrons from atoms break some chemical bonds How does radioactive material case health effect ? strip away electrons from atoms break some chemical bonds
What kinds of health effects does exposure to radiation cause? stochastic non-stochastic What kinds of health effects does exposure to radiation cause? stochastic non-stochastic
Is any amount of radiation safe? There is no firm basis for setting a "safe" level of exposure above background for stochastic effects. Is any amount of radiation safe? There is no firm basis for setting a "safe" level of exposure above background for stochastic effects.
How do we know radiation causes cancer???????????????????? (depend on human immune system) How do we know radiation causes cancer???????????????????? (depend on human immune system)
Aren't children more sensitive to radiation than adults? Yes, because children are growing more rapidly there are more cells dividing Aren't children more sensitive to radiation than adults? Yes, because children are growing more rapidly there are more cells dividing
