11.14 THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIATION

Аннотация

This article summarises the importance of studying the biological effects of radiation. It has also been shown to protect against alpha, beta and gamma radiation and to have effects on biological organisms.

Keywords: nucleus, particle, proton, neutron, dose, equivalent, radiation, alpha, beta, gamma, ionising, dosimetry.

Whether the source of radiation is natural or man-made, whether the radiation dose is small or large, the probability of some biological effects is very high, so people who work with or are exposed to ionising radiation need to protect themselves from the harmful effects of radiati on. The key to radiation protection is the ability to distinguish between time, distance and material protection. It is clear from physical expressions that the longer the time and shorter the distance, the greater the radiation dose.

To avoid prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation, it is recommended to perform necessary tasks for short periods of time and to stay as far away from the source of radiation as possible. Barriers made of concrete, lead or other dense materials are also part of the protective measures, as these materials absorb radiation and reduce its damage to the human body.

Radiation-related deaths caused by the use of nuclear radiation in medical procedures are rare. However, due to the large amount of radiation found in nature, there is an increased risk of severe radiation sickness and cancer, but it has been scientifically proven that these risks can be reduced by taking steps to control your health. In this article, we see several radiations. Different types of radiation have

different abilities to pass through materials. Protection against nuclear radiation is a major concern. For this reason, it is necessary to develop radiation protection measures.
