What is Radiation ? Energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles Types of radiation: Ionizing Alpha, beta, gamma, and x-ray Non-ionizing Infrared, microwave, radio waves, and radar 1 1

How are X-Rays formed ? 2 2

What is Scattered Radiation ? 3 3

Does X-ray radiation harm you? Yes. It seriously affects the body cells and may cause damage to DNA.

It also could cause damage to the body

to the thyroid gland

to the eyes

And the hands

So how to stay protected from scattered radiation?

Minimise the duration you are in contact with radiation Distance Rule No 1: Time Minimise the duration you are in contact with radiation Rule No 2: Distance Maximise the distance from radiation Rule No 3: Protection Use Radiation Protection Apparel Back to index 10
