Exposure to ionizing radiation may cause skin and blood damage, cataract, infertility, birth defects and cancer. The probability of radiation adverse health effects is proportional to the dose received, but no level of radiation exposure is completely safe.

7 Ιουλ 2023 · Excessive exposure to radiation may damage living tissues and organs, depending on the amount of radiation received (i.e. the dose). The extent of the potential damage depends on several factors, including: the type of radiation; the sensitivity of the affected tissues and organs; the route and duration of exposure;

Radiation protection sets examples for other safety disciplines in two unique respects: First, there is the assumption that any increased level of radiation above natural background will carry some risk of harm to health.

Radiation exposure is a measure of the ionization of air due to ionizing radiation from photons. [1] It is defined as the electric charge freed by such radiation in a specified volume of air divided by the mass of that air. [ 1 ]
From the time of early studies on X-rays and radioactive minerals it was recognized that exposure to high levels of radia-tion can harm exposed tissues of the human body. These radiation effects can be clinically diagnosed in the exposed individual; they are called deterministic effects because, given a radiation dose, they are determined to occur.
