Radiation - World Health Organization (WHO) Radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves or particles and is part of our everyday environment People are exposed to radiation from cosmic rays, as well as to radioactive materials found in the soil, water, food, air and also inside the body
Radiation and health Radiation is the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or moving subatomic particles Natural radiation comes from many naturally occurring radioactive materials found in soil, water, air and in the body Every day, people inhale and ingest forms of radiation from air, food and water
Radiation and health - World Health Organization (WHO) We work to strengthen radiation protection of the public, patients and workers worldwide We provide Member States with evidence-based guidance, tools and technical advice on public health issues related to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation and health effects WHO fact sheet on ionizing radiation, health effects and protective measures: includes key facts, definition, sources, type of exposure, health effects, nuclear emergencies, WHO response
Radiation: Ionizing radiation - World Health Organization (WHO) Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough energy that to remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing that atom to become charged or ionized Here we are concerned with only one type of radiation, ionizing radiation, which occurs in two forms: waves or particles There are several forms of electromagnetic radiation, which differ only in frequency and wavelength: Longer
Radiation: 5G mobile networks and health 5G, or fifth generation, is the latest wireless mobile phone technology, first widely deployed in 2019 5G is expected to increase performance and a wide range of new applications, including strengthening e-Health (telemedicine, remote surveillance, telesurgery)
Microsoft Word - Document1 Radiation exposure Ionizing radiation exposure is measured as "absorbed dose" in gray (Gy) The "effective dose" measured in sievert (Sv) takes account of the amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed, the type of radiation and the susceptibility of various organs and tissues to radiation damage
Radiation: The Chernobyl accident Among those who survived radiation sickness, recovery took several years Many of them developed radiation-induced cataracts in the first few years after the accident Recent studies of the recovery operation workers indicate that opacities of the eye lens might result from radiation doses lower than previously expected (about 500 mSv)
Exposure to radiation - World Health Organization (WHO) Exposure to radiation Ionizing (x-rays, radionuclides) and non-ionizing radiation (UV, lasers) exposure may occur in health-care settings and pose specific risk to the health and safety of health workers
