Radiation Exposure

Radiation exposure is the receipt of ionizing radiation by an organism, either through external or internal sources. Ionizing radiation is known to cause both immediate and long-term health effects in humans, with potential risks of cancer, genetic damage, and other health impacts. Therefore, controlling radiation exposure is important to protect human health. Radiation is routinely used in medical, industrial, and scientific applications. In the medical field, radiation is used to diagnose and treat illnesses, while in the industrial and scientific sector, radiation is used in equipment, processes, and research. Radiation safety protocols are important in controlling radiation exposure and ensuring the safety of both workers and the public.
