Question 1

What is Radiation?

Accepted Answer

There are two types of radiation: rays and high-speed particles. There are atoms in everything. The nucleus of an atom includes protons and neutrons, whereas the atom's outer shell contains other particles known as electrons.

The electrons have a negative charge, whereas the nucleus has a positive charge. The atom's internal forces maintain a stable equilibrium by eliminating excess atomic energy (radioactivity). As a result, unstable nuclei may spontaneously produce specific energy, which we call radiation.

Radiation comes in a variety of forms. Every day, for example, we use light, heat, and microwaves. To view inside our bodies, physicians employ X-Rays. Our favorite shows may be heard and seen on the radio and television. Radiation comes in all shapes and sizes.

Since the beginning of time, radiation has also been a part of our surroundings. Cosmic radiation from the sun and stars is like a steady rain that falls on the earth. There is also a source of terrestrial radiation that comes from the earth itself.

Question 2

Why do you need to be careful around radiation?

Accepted Answer

As with open flames, poisonous chemicals, and blades, we must exercise caution wherever these things are present. Using a knife safely is essential to preparing and eating our meals, but severe harm or death may result if mishandled. Similarly, radioactive materials have numerous positive purposes; abused, however, can represent a considerable hazard. Ionization can induce cell damage, leading to cancer, mutations in genetic material, or other sorts of direct physical injury.

Question 3

What are familiar sources of non-ionizing EMFs?

Accepted Answer

Non-ionizing EMFs can come from both natural and artificial sources. One example of a naturally occurring EMF is the earth's magnetic field, which causes a compass needle to point northward.

There are non-ionizing EMFs in both the EMF and RF ranges created by humans. EMFs can be generated from a variety of sources.

Question 4

How to avoid potential safety risks?

Accepted Answer

There are measures you can take to minimize the dangers of a potentially deadly heated blanket, such as:

Inquire whether or not the blanket has been tested and approved by an independent testing agency, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
Don't purchase a used electric blanket
Avoid blankets that show evidence of severe use, such as tears, discoloration, burn marks, frayed electrical cable, or a defective temperature control mechanism
Don't use an electric blanket that doesn't have cables and attachments that aren't securely attached
Hold the blanket in front of a light source for a moment. Don't use the blanket if the heating wires are damaged or moved

Question 5

What is radiation sickness?

Accepted Answer

When a radioactive substance emits particles that enter the body and cause injury, it produces radiation poisoning. The properties of radioactive compounds vary widely. Each of them has a unique set of abilities that can either damage or benefit a person.

Radiation from a single X-Ray is usually not dangerous. However, a lead apron will be used to screen body sections that will not be x-rayed from unwanted exposure.
