What is Alpha Rays?
Alpha rays is the most dangerous forms of radiation. Alpha rays has a lung cancer, fast-moving particle, external exposure- low risk; internal exposure- high risk; increased risk of cancer. Alpha particles also cannot penetrate most matter they encounter.
Types of Radiation
Radiation effects depends on:
- The type of radiation *(energy)*
- The pathway of exposure *(ability to permeate)*
All forms of radiation can cause cancer and other health problems.
Curie is the amount of radiation given off.
Rad is the amount absorbed.
Rem is risk of exposure.
