electromagnetic radiation, which covers a broad wavelength range, includ-ing infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation and X-rays and gamma rays. The following Table 1 gives approximate wavelengths, frequencies, and energies for selected regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This document provides information on basic science related to radiation, its effects on humans and the environment, and radiation sources.
Natural and Man-Made Radiation Sources. All living creatures, from the beginning of time, have been, and are still being, exposed to radiation. This chapter will discuss the sources of this radiation, which are: Natural Background Radiation. Man-Made Sources of Radiation.
radiation exposure (e.g. about the global average level of natural radiation exposure) would produce an exceedingly small increase in the chances of developing an attributable cancer. Moreover, radiation-induced cancer may manifest itself decades after the exposure and does not differ from cancers that arise spontaneously or are attributable to ...
Radiation protection activities are governed by many regulations and recommendations. These are based on knowledge gained from epidemiological studies of health effects from low as well as from high dose radiation exposures.
Types of Radiation: Characterization and Sources This introductory chapter gives a description of the different types of radiation and briefly outlines the means of their production. Spectral distributions are explained and discussed. A final paragraph deals with the fundamentals of radioactivity. 1.1 Types of Radiation
