Radiation Exposure

Radiation exposure is a type of exposure to energy emitted from sources like x-rays, gamma rays and ultraviolet radiation. It is important to consider exposure levels as large doses of radiation can be harmful to humans. Accidental exposure to radiation can lead to long-term health risks such as cancer, while more controlled and monitored exposures can be used in the medical field such as radiation treatments for cancer or imaging techniques like x-rays. Radiation exposure is an important consideration for the environment and the public, particularly in areas where nuclear power plants or other sources of radiation are present.
