Radiation particles are emitted during radioactive decay the radiation particles produced are based on the size and energy level up. The items putting the alpha particles vadim articles and gamma rays, these are some other radiation wavelengths. The shorter the way in place the more damage because to human tissue exposure REM doses over 1,000 likely cause death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How does radiation cause health effects?
\nRadioactive materials that decay spontaneously produce ionizing radiation, which has sufficient energy to strip away electrons from atoms (creating two charged ions) or to break some chemical bonds. Any living tissue in the human body can be damaged by ionizing radiation in a unique manner. The body attempts to repair the damage, but sometimes the damage is of a nature that cannot be repaired or it is too severe or widespread to be repaired. Also mistakes made in the natural repair process can lead to cancerous cells.<\/p>\n

The most common forms of ionizing radiation are alpha and beta particles, or gamma and X-rays.
\nWhat kinds of health effects does exposure to radiation cause?
\nIn general, the amount and duration of radiation exposure affects the severity or type of health effect. There are two broad categories of health effects: stochastic and non-stochastic.<\/p>\n

Stochastic Health Effects<\/p>\n

Stochastic effects are associated with long-term, low-level (chronic) exposure to radiation. (“Stochastic” refers to the likelihood that something will happen.) Increased levels of exposure make these health effects more likely to occur, but do not influence the type or severity of the effect.<\/p>\n

Cancer is considered by most people the primary health effect from radiation exposure. Simply put, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells. Ordinarily, natural processes control the rate at which cells grow and replace themselves. They also control the body’s processes for repairing or replacing damaged tissue. Damage occurring at the cellular or molecular level, can disrupt the control processes, permitting the uncontrolled growth of cells cancer This is why ionizing radiation’s ability to break chemical bonds in atoms and molecules makes it such a potent carcinogen.<\/p>\n

Other stochastic effects also occur. Radiation can cause changes in DNA, the “blueprints” that ensure cell repair and replacement produces a perfect copy of the original cell. Changes in DNA are called mutations.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the body fails to repair these mutations or even creates mutations during repair. The mutations can be teratogenic or genetic. Teratogenic mutations are caused by exposure of the fetus in the uterus and affect only the individual who was exposed. Genetic mutations are passed on to offspring.<\/p>\n

Non-Stochastic Health Effects<\/p>\n

Non-stochastic effects appear in cases of exposure to high levels of radiation, and become more severe as the exposure increases. Short-term, high-level exposure is referred to as ‘acute’ exposure.<\/p>\n

Many non-cancerous health effects of radiation are non-stochastic. Unlike cancer, health effects from ‘acute’ exposure to radiation usually appear quickly. Acute health effects include burns and radiation sickness. Radiation sickness is also called ‘radiation poisoning.’ It can cause premature aging or even death. If the dose is fatal, death usually occurs within two months. The symptoms of radiation sickness include: nausea, weakness, hair loss, skin burns or diminished organ function.<\/p>\n

Medical patients receiving radiation treatments often experience acute effects, because they are receiving relatively high “bursts” of radiation during treatment.
\nIs any amount of radiation safe?
\nThere is no firm basis for setting a “safe” level of exposure above background for stochastic effects. Many sources emit radiation that is well below natural background levels. This makes it extremely difficult to isolate its stochastic effects. In setting limits, EPA makes the conservative (cautious) assumption that any increase in radiation exposure is accompanied by an increased risk of stochastic effects.<\/p>\n

Some scientists assert that low levels of radiation are beneficial to health (this idea is known as hormesis).<\/p>\n

However, there do appear to be threshold exposures for the various non-stochastic effects. (Please note that the acute affects in the following table are cumulative. For example, a dose that produces damage to bone marrow will have produced changes in blood chemistry and be accompanied by nausea.)<\/p>\n

The body of 35 year old Hiroshi Ouchi, who had suffered a terrible accident at the\u00a0uranium reprocessing facility in Tokaimura<\/a>, northeast of Tokyo where he had worked, on 30 September 1999. The cause of the accident was the depositing of a uranyl nitrate solution, which contained roughly 16.6kg of uranium, into a precipitation tank, exceeding its critical mass. Three workers were exposed to incredible amounts of the most powerful type of radiation in the form of neutron beams.<\/p>\n

The micro-second those beams shot through his body, Ouchi was a dead man. The radiation completely destroyed the chromosomes in his body.<\/p>\n

According to a book written by\u00a0NHK-TV called A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness<\/a>, when arriving at the University of Tokyo Hospital Emergency Room, Mr Ouchi appeared relatively well for someone that had just been subjected to mind blowing levels of radiation, and was even able to converse with doctors.<\/p>\n

That is, until his skin started falling off.<\/p>\n

As the radiation in his body began to break down the chromosomes within his cells, Ouchi\u2019s condition worsened. And then some.<\/p>\n

Ouchi was kept alive over a period of 3 months as his skin blackened and blistered and began to sluice off his body.\u00a0His internal organs failed\u00a0and he lost\u00a0a jaw-dropping 20 litres of bodily fluids a day. I’m happy to say, he was kept in a medical coma for most of this time.<\/p>\n
