Radiation and me

 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RADIATIONS? TELL ME ABOUT SOME RADIOACTIVE SOURCES.

According to my own personal research thr term radiation can simply be defined as a small particles of a radioactive ☢️ substances which when contacted in large amounts can cause illness or death.

Now before we proceed let us first of all understand what is being meant by radioactive sources;

RADIOACTIVE SOURCES

Radioactive sources are a known radionuclide which emits ionizing radiation, Now we know the meaning of radioactive source now some of it's examples are;

cosmic radiation

terrestrial radiation

inhalation

ingestion

GIVE A FEW BENEFITS OF THE RADIATIONS.

Some of the few benefits/importance of radiations are;

Radiation is an highly effective method used in the killing of cancer cell inside a tumor

Radiation helps in shrinking tumor in other to make surgery more effective

Radiation is used in medicine

Radiation can be applicable in archaeology, space exploration, law enforcement, geology etc.

ENLIST SOME HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RADIATIONS OF DIFFERENT TYPES.

Some of the harmful effects of radiation are;

Radiation causes damage to the cells in our DNA 🧬

High exposure to radiation can lead to cancer later in life

Radiation generally can cause environmental contamination

The exposure of radiational methods can cause fatigue, hair loss, nausea and vomiting, skin changes etc.

CERTAIN ACTIONS TO TAKE IN OTHER TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH FROM RADIATION

Generally we all know that radiation is harmful and can certainly damage a person's health and even contaminate our environment but when it comes to the daily exposure to screens all thanks to the introduction of technology

The only thing that can be done in other to protect our health from the dangers of blue screen exposure are first even my mobile phone for example has certainly warn that when charging it that it should be kept at least 5 meters away from us

And it also warns that when initiating a wireless charge it should be kept at least 10 meters away from the body, which is to say that indeed they are aware of the dangers cause by radiation

So some of the things we can do in other to protect our health from radiation are;

Setting a exposure to screen time limit

Sit a little bit far away from the screen when watching a television

We should stop the habit of sleeping next to our phone or tablet

We should stop 🚏 keeping our phone close to our chest.

This will be the end of my entry and I'm very much certain that we all are now fully aware of the dangers involved in the continuous exposure to radiation as well as some of it's benefits.
