The difficulty in determining cancer risks with electromagnetic radiation is: (Select all that apply)
Impossible to accurately measure exposure | |
A clear dose response relationship | |
Ability to reproduce effects | |
Consensus of risk/benefit ratio |
Exposure to ionizing radation is known to increase the future incidence of cancer once cell damaged by ionizing radation there are three thing are happen
1_ one possiblity that the cell repair it self and the cell take our normal size &position
2_ second posiblity is that the damage cell is not repaired or is miss repaired so the cell is altered this alteration may eventually lead to cancer
3_ the third posiblity is that there us to much damaged to the cell & cell dies cell dead is not a bed option
In addition to dose the healt effect of radation also depend on the dose rate how fast the dose is receved if the dose is delivered to a portin of the body the health impact would not be severe as if the dose were deliverd the whole body individual sensitivity to radation is also a factor children & young adult are more likely to develop the late effect of the radation
Younge age increase risk for two reason
1_ younger people have more cell that are dividing rapidly and secin is they have a longer lifespam ahead of them giving cancer time to develop
Effective radation dose rate as 5.5% oer seviourty
