säteilyhaaroiden
Säteilyhaaroiden, often translated as radiation hazards, refers to the potential dangers posed by ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms that travels in electromagnetic waves or can be emitted as particles. This radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules, a process called ionization. This ionization can damage living tissue and DNA, leading to various health problems, including cancer and genetic mutations.
Sources of radiation hazards can be both natural and artificial. Natural sources include cosmic radiation from
To mitigate radiation hazards, safety measures are implemented. These typically involve time, distance, and shielding. Minimizing
