Greetings to All

I wish you all will be great by the blessings and mercy of Almighty Allah. Today I am here to participate in the Contest Radiations and Me . So lets start the topic.

What do you know about Radiations? Tell me about some radioactive sources.

---

---

Radiations are the source of energy in the form of waves or particles that can come from various sources. There are many different types of radiations . One type of radiation is called as ionizing radiations that further have different forms such as Alpha beta or gamma radiations .

Ionising radiations has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms that cause ionization.

Some Radioactive ☢️ sources

There are several sources of radiation some are natural and some are man-made.

• Some natural sources include cosmic radiations from the sun and outer space as well as radioactive elements found in the earth crust such as uranium and radon gas.

• some man made sources include medical procedures that used radiations like X - rays and CT scans as well as nuclear power plants and certain industrial processes.

Radioactive sources are materials that emitted radiations due to their unstable atomic nucleus. Some common radioactive sources include uranium platinum and radium. These materials the time and release radiations in the form of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays.

They are used in various applications, such as medical treatments, industrial inspections, and scientific research.

Give a few benefits of the radiations.

---

Radiations indeed have many benefits also they are not only harmful but also very useful for us in medicine and research industry here are some benefits of radiations.

• Radiations like X-ray CT scan and nuclear medicine techniques help doctors to diagnose and treat diseases. They allow for non invasive imaging of internal structures and help doctor studentify and monitor conditions like fractures tumors and heart disease.

• Radiation therapy is a common treatment for cancer it uses high energy radiations to target and destroy cancer cells while minimising damage to health tissues. This helps in shrinking tumors and relieving symptoms and curing cancers.

• Radiations are also used in the preservation of food by killing bacteria insects and other pests. It helps to extend the shelf life of food reduce spoilage and prevent food born disease.

• In industries radiations are used inspecting welds detecting flaws in materials and in the sterilization process of medical equipments.

Enlist some harmful effects of radiations of different types.

Radiations also have harmful effects and sometimes also cause illness or death even. High dose of radiations can cause acute radiation syndrome which includes symptoms of fatigue vomiting and even death in severe cases.

Prolonged and exposure to ionising radiations from certain types of radioactive sources can also increase the risk of developing cancer. Also ionising radiation can damage DNA that lived towards genetic mutations may be passed to future generation.

High dose of radiation can also damage healthy tissues that leads towards radiation burns and long term health complications. Along with health issues it also spoiled environment that can harm plants animals and humans.

Do our electronic devices (phones, laptops, tablets, or other screens) emit radiation? What should we do to protect our health?

---

---

Yes electronic devices like phones laptops and tablets emit a type of radiations called as electromagnetic radiations. However the level of radiations emitted by the devices is low but we should take the measures to protect our health.

We should expose to this screen for less time and also take regular brakes. We should also maintain a safe distance between ourself and electronic devices specially when using them for long period of time this helps to reduce the exposure of radiations.

Using speaker mode of phone while calling is a more safe option. And also we can adjust our device setting such as low screen brightness and eye protection mode etc.

So that was all from my side about the topic and I hope that you all will like to read the post and support the content

I would like to invite @isha-rehman , @waterjeo,@liasteem to participate in the contest

Thanks for Reading
