4 Radioactive Material Defining Radiation Definitions Radiation 4
5 Defining Radiation Ionization Medium Non-Ionizing Radiation Definition: Radiation not having enough energy to ionize the medium it passes through. Examples: microwaves, radio waves, light, Ionizing Radiation Definition: Radiation having enough energy to ionize the medium it passes through. Examples: Radioactive material, radiation producing machines, 5
6 Protective Measures Against Radiation Sources of Radiation Natural Sources: Diet: 40 mrem/year. Cosmic: 28 mrem/year (Doubles every 1800 m in altitude). Terrestrial: 28 mrem/year. Manmade Sources: Medical X-rays: Chest 20 mrem, Dental 10 mrem. Smoking: 1.3 rem/year at 1.5 packs per day. As an average, we are exposed to 300 mrem per year of radiation due to natural & manmade radiation (that is ~ 1 mrem/day). 6

The risk of genetic effects increases from 1 to 2 excess cases (0.02%). The risk of in utero effects increases between 10 to 100 excess cases (1%) 12
