What amounted to a Dangerous Radiation

Anxiety about the impact of radiation on the health of the nuclear reactor explosion Fukushima appeared in various countries. But the concern did not seem to have excessive levels of radiation is at risk if health is understood by the public.

Here are are some facts you need to know about the amount of radiation exposure and the threat to health. This data is sourced from the World Nuclear Association.

* To calculate how much radiation exposure to humans in their daily life and to know its potential impact on health, imposed a kind of measurement units. One measure is the Sievert (Sv), which is used for radiological protection standards.

The unit of measurement is applied to calculate the biological effects of radiation type or different. For doses in humans, commonly used measurement is millisieverts (mSv), or one thousandth of Sievert.

* Head of the Japanese Government spokesman Yukio Edano said radiation levels near the reactor that exploded to 400 millisieverts (mSv) per hour, or thousands of times higher than before the explosion. But then, this number is corrected value becomes lower. Radiation levels of 400 mSv is equivalent to 20 times per year of exposure experienced by workers in nuclear reactors or uranium mines.

* Exposure to 350 mSv is the criteria or conditions used in the World Nuclear Association to relocate the residents after the Chernobyl explosion.

* Any natural person may be exposed to radiation of about 2 mSv per year.

* The procedures for the use of X-ray beam on the chest of patients presenting 0:02 mSv, whereas in the teeth just reach mSv 00:01

* Crew of aircraft assigned to the New York-Tokyo route could be exposed to 9 mSv per year.

* Exposure to radiation sebasar 100 mSv is the lowest level that can increase the risk of cancer. Cumulative exposure of 1.000 mSv likely to cause fatal cancer after a period of many years in 5 of 100 people exposed to radiation.

* The dose of 1,000 mSv exposure can cause immediate effects such as nausea but does not cause death. Dose of 5,000 mSv bsia cause death within a month interval in 50 percent of people exposed to radiation.

* Lam Ching-wan, a chemical pathologist from the University of Hong Kong believes the radiation that is very acute, as happened at Chernobyl and that befall the nuclear power plant workers in Japan, less likely to occur in the population.
