Question

3. What are radioactive hazards? How can we protect
ourselves from them?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome (“radiation sickness"). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease

Explanation:

You can work safely around radiation and/or contamination by following a few simple precautions:

Use time, distance, shielding and containment to reduce exposure.

Wear dosimeters (e.g., film or TLD badges) if issued.

Avoid contact with the contamination.

Wear protective clothing that, if contaminated, can be removed.
