2. What is radiation.?
Radiation is energy that moves through
space or matter at a very high speed
Radiation that can produce ions when it
interacts with matter is called ionizing
radiation. Alpha particles, beta particles, x-
rays and gamma rays are forms of ionizing
radiation. Radiation that is not capable of
producing ions in matter is known as
nonionizing radiation.
Radiowaves, microwaves, heat waves, visible
light and ultraviolet radiation are forms of
nonionizing radiation.
3. How radiation is produced by cell
phones…??
Cell phones uses radio frequency(RF)waves to
make and receive calls.
The type of radiation produced by cell phone is
called electromagnetic radiation.
5. How radiation effects human
health?
Ionizing radiation affects health when it causes changes in
the cells of the human body. It does this by breaking the
chemical bonds that hold together groups of atoms called
molecules.
DNA molecules, which contain a person's genetic
information, control the chemical and physical functions of
human cells. If damaged, the DNA molecules are able to
repair the damage in most cases; but in some instances,
damage to DNA molecules will affect the ability of the cells to
do their work and to pass information to new cells.
6. precautions
Don’t place mobile under the pillow. moving your
phone 20cm away from your head reduces
radiation doses by about 98%.
Use headsets while talking.
The effect of radiation is more in case of children
when compared to adults.
Use anti radiation chips
