word ’radiation’ has to do with energy or matter moving through space. Space radiation affects astronauts when an amount of radiation gets through the walls of a space shuttle or station and enters the body. Solar radiation usually affects astronauts walking in space‚ outside of their space shuttles‚ but sometimes it can even affect the people on Earth‚ causing electricity failures. Many people - astronauts mostly- fear the consequences of solar radiation‚ due to the fact that solar radiation can cause

Biological Effect Mechanisms of Damage Injury to living tissue results from the transfer of energy to atoms and molecules in the cellular structure. Ionizing radiation causes atoms and molecules to become ionized or excited. These excitations and ionizations can: * Produce free radicals. * Break chemical bonds. * Produce new chemical bonds and cross-linkage between macromolecules. * Damage molecules that regulate vital cell processes (e.g. DNA‚ RNA‚ proteins). The cell can repair

Effects of Cell Phone Radiation Today the cell phone is one of the most popular means of communication throughout the world. However‚ concerns are being raised all over on the possible effects of radiations emitted by them. Read on to know more...

The Effects of Radiation on Cancer There are both negative and positive effects of radiation on cancer. Scientists have discovered that radiation can lessen or increase the chance of obtaining cancer. Radio therapy is a treatment for cancer in which X-rays employ controlled exposure to radiation. Radiation also can save lives. The negative effects on humans are that if over exposed to it‚ it can cause migraines‚ seizures‚ and ultimately‚ death. Firstly‚ external beam radiation therapy used on

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

In this review we will learn a lot of things about the effects of radiation in plants and some information about the plants and radiation. So as I go on my research I found out that‚ in moving from the water to the land‚ several living creatures had to subdue the number of problems. It must include the fortification against reproduction‚ fluid and nutrient transport‚ desiccation and ultraviolet radiation. So plants started from algae‚ it has been found in a long time photosynthesizing bacteria could

purpose of this lab was to see if radiation has an effect on the cultivated radish seeds that we used. From the observed data that we collected‚ we were able to conclude that when seeds are exposed to radiation‚ it affects how they grow‚ if there is any growth at all. Introduction Radiation is an important environmental abiotic factor for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides the energy to

radiation We can classify radiation into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation‚ according to the effects it produces on matter. Ionizing radiation includes cosmic rays‚ X rays and the radiation from radioactive materials. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet light‚ radiant heat‚ radio waves and microwaves.In medical practice ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involve non-ionizing radiation. +light n heat radiation produced by the sun *ionizing radiation is produced by some

Answer: Radiation has a profound effect on matter. Particularly in forms where it has high energy. There are basically two kinds of radiation‚ and they are electromagnetic energy and particulate radiation. Low energy electromagnetic radiation isn’t generally hazardous‚ as long as the field strengths are low. You wouldn’t want to stand in front of a radar antenna when it’s radiating‚ but we are swept by low power electromagnet energy all the time. Those so-called radio waves are everywhere. Light
