Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer‚ and it is estimated that 15% of all cases of lung cancer in the United States result from exposure to radon gas. The government has taken steps to mitigate this problem‚ but the problem still persists. There are simple and inexpensive methods to drastically reduce the risks of radon gas exposure‚ and pursuing such

electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR is a form of energy that reveals its presence when it strikes the matter. Remote Sensing has a sensor which can detect the electromagnetic radiation coming from an object. Remote Sensing data also enables direct observation of the land surface or any other objects at repetitive intervals and therefore allow monitoring the changes occurring in it through aerial or satellite sensor. Electromagnetic Radiation: Emission of EMR (Electro-Magnetic Radiation) occurs from

The properties of nuclear radiation are used to detect their levels. Different types of radiation have different effects on the human body. The key properties that are used to detect nuclear radiation include the ability to: * Geiger-Müller tube Geiger-Müller tubes work using ionising effect of radioactivity. It is best at detecting alpha

The average daily dose of ECH to patient should not exceed 9mg. 4.3.5 Tolerable contact limits for surface contacting devices and implants: 4.3.5.1 Overview: TCL is expressed in units of micrograms per square centimetre for EO and milligrams per square centimeters for ECH. The unit of square centimeters represents the surface area of the patient-device interface. 4.3.5.2 Tolerable contact limit for EO:

radiochemistry in the field of medicine. Nuclear medicine is in the field of medicine by using imaging devices. Doctors use small amounts of radioactive materials called radio tracers that are either injected into the bloodstream‚ inhaled or swallowed. Radiation therapy is also a therapy that uses radioactive materials to treat cancers. The use of nuclear medicine is a fast-growing idea in the world of medicine. About 1/3 of modern procedures in hospitals use nuclear chemistry. Nuclear medicine technologist’s

Abstract Mercury exposure has become a serious‚ mainstream topic that has attracted mass amounts of global attention. Exposure to toxic levels of mercury is devastating to the developing central nervous system and general physiological systems in humans. Studies have suggested that mercury exposure can affect limb coordination‚ academic performance and mercury may have a role in other developmental disorders. There are many ways humans may be exposed to mercury in their daily lives. Populations

This reduced cost would comprise of lower cost of productions‚ thus leading to a rise in the Product

This essay will be discussing one of the applications and uses of the radioactive isotopes‚ and it will also state one problem that radioactive isotopes can address. The radiation characteristically meet four kinds: alpha radiation‚ beta radiation‚ gamma radiation and x radiation. Alpha radiation is weighty‚ that includes a very-short variety element and is in fact a homeless helium nucleus. Some examples of alpha radiation are radium‚ radon‚ uranium
