treatment with radiation I am for the use of radiation because it can be used in many good ways. My sub group is medicine. I am researching a radiation treatment used for helping cancer patients. This is a good use of radiation because it kills the cancer cells and may even cure the cancer. It doesn’t always cure it but it will slow the process down. One reason radiation therapy is used‚ is to destroy the cancer cells. It is also for shrinking tumors. Tumors are mostly cured by the radiation. It can also

insufficient physical exercise. However‚ not all known causes of cancer such as ionizing radiation are covered to this extent. How big of a role does ionizing radiation play in cancer deaths? Is it even worth noticing? First‚ in order to understand why ionizing radiation leads to cancer‚ an important distinction must be made between ionizing and nonionizing radiation. “Radiation is ionizing if the energy of the radiation suffices to remove an electron from an atom to create an ion. Conversely‚ if the energy

Concepts of Radiation Radiation * Emission of energy from an atom and the transmission of this energy through space. * Energy propagated in a material medium or space. * Energy in transit. What are the types of radiation? * Radiation is of two general types in our environment. * They are called non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionization * the energy transferred to the electrons causes them to be pulled away or removed from an atom entirely. * The result is the

Conversion Assignment 2 Proton Therapy Presented to: Dr. Walid Assaf By: Farid Akiki 20082191 Semester: Fall 2012 Proton Therapy Proton therapy (also called proton beam therapy) is a type of radiation treatment that uses protons rather than x-rays to treat cancer. A proton is a positively charged particle that is part of an atom‚ the basic unit of all chemical elements‚ such as hydrogen or oxygen. At high energy‚ protons can destroy cancer cells. Proton therapy was first used for cancer

Radiation Exposure Do you know much radiation you are exposed to everyday? Many people are not aware of the radiation levels around them on a daily basis. I believe that exposure to radiation should be minimal. I think protection and prevention is vital. Being aware of the health risks and what can be done to protect yourself should be a well known piece of knowledge. If followed‚ this knowledge can help reduce radiation exposure levels. Exposure to radiation is higher today than it has ever

INTRODUCTION Radiation‚ flow of atomic and subatomic particles and of waves‚ such as those that characterize heat rays‚ light rays‚ and X rays. All matter is constantly bombarded with radiation of both types from cosmic and terrestrial sources. This article delineates the properties and behaviour of radiation and the matter with which it interacts and describes how energy is transferred from radiation to its surroundings. Considerable attention is devoted to the consequences of such an energy

EFFECTS OF RADIATION Background Radiation is all around us. It is naturally present in our environment and has been since the birth of this planet. Consequently‚ life has evolved in an environment which has significant levels of ionizing radiation. It comes from outer space (cosmic)‚ the ground (terrestrial)‚ and even from within our own bodies. It is present in the air we breathe‚ the food we eat‚ the water we drink‚ and in the construction materials used to build our homes. Certain foods

Mrs. Pilar M. Macabinguil ENGLISH IV Teacher MPCHS Madam: In partial fulfillment of the requirement in ENGLISH IV‚ I hereby present to you my term paper entitled “What is Radiation?” This term paper presents a research study on the importance about radiation and how it affects the whole world. In doing a research paper is a big task that must be given more efforts‚ time and patient. It will not be built without references. I always think of doing this not for the
