Radiation in Everyday Life
We are exposed to ionizing radiation from natural sources in two ways:
1)We are surrounded by naturally-occurring radioactive elements in the soil and stones and are bathed with cosmic rays entering the earth's atmosphere from outer space.
2)We receive internal exposure from radioactive elements which we take into our bodies through food and water, and through the air, we breathe. In addition, we have radioactive elements (Potassium 40, Carbon 14, Radium 226) in our blood or bones.
The effects of radiation at high doses and dose rates are reasonably well documented. A very large dose delivered to the whole body over a short time will result in the death of the exposed person within days. Much has been learned by studying the health records of the survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We know from these that some of the health effects of exposure to radiation do not appear unless a certain quite large dose is absorbed. However, many other effects, especially cancers are readily detectable and occur more often in those with moderate doses. At lower doses and dose rates, there is a degree of recovery in cells and in tissues. CLICK HERE for the complete Article

NukAlert Radiation Detector & RAD Triage 50 Personal Radiation Detector
NukAlert™ is a patented personal radiation meter, monitor, and alarm. Small enough to attach to a key chain, the device operates non-stop, 24/7, and will promptly warn you of the presence of unseen, but acutely dangerous levels of radiation.
RADTriage radiation dosimeter is a credit card-sized, self-indicating, user-friendly, practically non-destructible, casualty personal dosimeter that reliably monitors harmful high doses (10–10,000 mSv) in an event of a radiological incident.
