säteilykäsittelyssä
Säteilykäsittely, also known as radiation processing, is a method used to preserve food, sterilize medical supplies, and modify materials. It involves exposing materials to ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays or electron beams, to achieve desired effects. The process is widely used in the food industry to extend the shelf life of products by killing bacteria and other microorganisms. In the medical field, radiation processing is employed to sterilize surgical instruments and other medical devices, ensuring they are free from harmful pathogens. Additionally, it is used in the manufacturing industry to modify the properties of materials, such as plastics, to improve their durability and performance. The effectiveness of säteilykäsittely depends on the type and energy of the radiation used, as well as the dose and duration of exposure. Proper handling and regulation are essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of this process.
