2. Possible health effects of nuclear crisis
2011 March 11 , Fukushima Nuclear power plant was
damaged in Japan. Also radiation became diffuse wide range.
So I want to consider about this topic.
3. About radiation harmful
There are two types of radiation.
This is separated non-ionizing and ionizing.
Non-ionizing radiation includes infrared radiation,
radio waves, cellphone radiation.Such radiation does not
break chemical bonds. It does not have significant
effects.
Other the other hand, Ionizing radiation is much more
dangerous. because it does break chemical bonds and thus
does cause cancer.
4. What happens when someone is exposed to
ionizing radiation?
This depends on how long you are exposed.
The first signs include nausea and fatigue.
After that comes hair loss and diarrhea.
The next stage is generally destruction of the intestinal lining
and worse diarrhea and dehydration.
After that central nervous system damage.
After that comes loss of consciousness and, inevitably, death.
5. In the case of Chernobyl
United Nation reports estimated that fewer than 50 people
had died of causes directly related to radiation exposure.
It is said that as many as 4,000 people are expected to
eventually die of radiation-related causes.
6. How does radiation released from nuclear
plants compare with a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear explosion produces two types of radiation that have
lethal effects.
It is said that most of the 166,000 Japanese who died at
Hiroshima in the first four months after the atomic bombing
suffered from this type of radiation.
Fukushima is not emitting gamma or X-irradiation. Most of the
radioactivity is in the form of radiocesium and radioiodine.
7. How much exposure is enough to make
someone sick?
An exposure of 500,000 microsieverts can lead to nausea and
fatigue within hours.
A dose of 750,000 microsieverts causes hair loss within two or
three weeks
1 million microsieverts will cause hemorrhage.
Death usually occurs at a dose of 4 million microsieverts.
8. Conclusion
I researched about radiation in this topic. And I understood
that radiation don't influence on human soon. But for a long
time, influencing by radiation is possible to cause cancer.
