Negative Effects of Nuclear Radiation
THE NEGATIVE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION
Page 1
Abstract
Nuclear radiation has been a major problem since 1941 when the Second World War began. A major contribution to World War Two is the nuclear bomb, also known as the Atom bomb. Once the two bombs were dropped, the usually terminal Leukemia was derived throughout Japan. There are three types of radiation, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation. In my study of radiation I discovered that radiation can damage many cells in your body as well as DNA. Most people are afraid to get x-rays, MRIs’, and cat scans due to their rising ability to cause radiation. Thyroid cancer is one of the major results of radiation. Throughout this research paper you will get the understanding of how nuclear radiation negatively affects people.
Page 2 What does one think about when you think of nuclear radiation? Most people have the perception that nuclear radiation is entirely good for you but it’s truly not. Although many things used in medical rooms are very important to help save lives, they can also cause serious internal damage. For example, once one is exposed to nuclear radiation you can develop cancer and bone marrow in particular also massive DNA and brain damage. Normal radiation is part of our natural environment; it is in things we consume and in the Earth itself. Although we consume this certain type of radiation daily eventually it eats away at our immune system if we intake the wrong type of radiation unknowingly. During World War Two the Japanese were the most exposed to nuclear radiation due to the atom bomb. The atom bomb was one of the first bombs to be dropped in any war. Nagasaki and Hiroshima, two of the most populated cities in Japan, sadly were introduced to a large nuclear radiation illness called Leukemia. Leukemia was one of the most devastating illnesses introduced to Japan due to the nuclear atom bomb. Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells. It starts in the
