Around 80% of the phone’s microwave emissions are absorbed by the head. Only shielding or distance to the phone can reduce their severe impact. The United Nations World Health Organization has classified mobile phone radiation as possibly cancer causing and advise that it is important for mobile phone users to minimize

Adaptive Radiation Adaptive radiation occurs most often in new environment with a variety of different unfilled niches so that plants and animals that are not adapted to those areas can exploit the resources in the respective niches. Once individuals begin exploiting the new niches‚ mutations that will benefit the species will spread throughout the population via natural selection giving the owners an overwhelming advantage over others without the mutation and throughout evolutionary time

Brachytherapy (also known as internal radiation therapy) is the use of radioactive ‘seeds’ to help destroy cancerous cells. It is commonly used as a treatment for cervical‚ prostate‚ breast and skin cancer. How long the treatment will take will depend on where the tumor is and how large it is. Brachytherapy works from the inside of the body by placing the radioactive ‘seeds’ into the body next to the tumor. About 4/10 people with cancer have some type of radiation therapy as their treatment. History

Understanding UV radiation The sun sends out different types of radiation – visible light that we see as sunlight‚ infrared radiation felt as heat and UV radiation that we can’t see or feel. Are there different types of radiation in sunlight? Yes. The types of radiation include • visible light‚ which gives us the colours we see‚ • infrared radiation which gives us the warmth we feel‚ and • ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Except in extreme situations‚ neither visible light nor infrared radiation from sunlight

The year 2010 was a watershed moment in the field of radiation oncology‚ due to articles written by Walt Bogdanich in the New York Times. These articles critiqued leadership‚ radiation dose‚ and patient safety‚ and accused the community of using unsafe practices (Washington & Leaver‚ 2016). While there had been previous accidents which injured and killed patients during the 1980s‚ those few accidents were attributed to equipment faults‚ as computer equipment was merged with treatment delivery equipment

What is electromagnetic radiation? Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies released into space by stars such as the Sun. These kinds of energies include some that you will recognize and some that will sound strange. They include: * Radio Waves * TV waves * Radar waves * Heat (infrared radiation) * Light * Ultraviolet Light (This is what causes Sunburns) * X-rays (Just like the kind you get at the doctor’s office) * Short waves
