PROPER USAGE
OF
RADIATION
Human-made radiation is
radiation that is produced by
humans through the use of
technology, such as nuclear
power plants, X-ray machines,
and medical equipment.
Human-made radiation can
also be released into the
environment through activities
such as mining and the
burning of fossil fuels.
Radiation is energy that travels in the
form of waves or as particles. It is a
form of energy released from atoms
in the form of waves or particles.
Radiation can be either natural or
man-made. Natural radiation is
emitted from the sun, the stars, and
the Earth's core, while man-made
radiation is created through nuclear
reactions, medical treatments, and
the use of certain devices.

too much radiation?
If there is too much radiation,
it can cause serious health
problems such as cancer,
genetic damage, and even
death. Prolonged exposure to
high levels of radiation can
lead to radiation sickness,
which can cause nausea,
vomiting, hair loss, and other
symptoms.

use of radiation?
The proper use of radiation is
important to ensure patient safety and
to ensure the accuracy of medical
imaging results. Radiation exposure is
cumulative and can potentially cause
long-term health risks. Inaccurate
results can lead to misdiagnosis and
incorrect treatment. Proper use of
radiation helps minimize the risk of
harm to patients and health care
providers and also helps to ensure
accurate medical imaging results.
WHAT ARE THE 7 KINDS
WHAT ARE THE 7 KINDS
OF RADAITON
OF RADAITON
Gamma Rays: High-energy
electromagnetic radiation emitted
from the nucleus of radioactive
atoms..
X-Rays: Electromagnetic radiation
with a short wavelength, capable of
penetrating solid objects and
producing an image on photographic
film or a fluorescent screen.
Ultraviolet Rays: Electromagnetic
radiation of a wavelength shorter
than that of visible light, but longer
than X-rays, capable of causing
chemical reactions.
Visible Light: Electromagnetic
radiation that is visible to the
human eye and is responsible for
the sense of sight.
Infrared Rays: Electromagnetic
radiation with wavelengths longer
than those of visible light, but
shorter than those of radio waves.
Microwaves: Electromagnetic
waves with frequencies higher than
those of radio waves, but lower
than those of infrared radiation.
Radio Waves: Electromagnetic
radiation with frequencies lower
than those of microwaves, capable
of transmitting sound, music, and
pictures.
