This document discusses the different types of radiation and their effects on human health. There are two main types - ionizing radiation, which can break chemical bonds and cause cancer, and non-ionizing radiation, which is not believed to cause cancer. Ionizing radiation includes X-rays and gamma rays and can cause nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss, diarrhea, dehydration, and death depending on the exposure level and length of time exposed. Nuclear bombs produce dangerous ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays and gamma rays that can accumulate in food and lead to cancer, as was tragically demonstrated by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which killed over 166,000 people initially and

The radiation effects to health
1. Nuclear radiation effects on human
health
● Radiation is not always dangerous
● There are two kinds of radiation
● What is ionizing radiation
● Dangerousness of ionizing radiation
● The difference between non-ionizing radiations
and ionizing radiations
● Dangerousness of nuclear bomb
● The damage of Hiroshima where the nuclear
bomb exploded
2. Radiation is not always dangerous
● All radiation is not always harmful.
● Of course, there is very dangerous radiation.
● But we use it as radio, cellphone waves in the
life. And we can cook by using it.
●This wave is classified into non-ionizing radiation
and believed not to cause the cancer.
3. There are two kinds of radiation
● There are ionizing
radiation and non-
ionizing radiation.
● The latter is not
dangerous through
referring to the previous
slide.
● But the former would
be dangerous because
it can break chemical
bonds and cause the
cancer.
4. What is ionizing radiation
● The difference between ionizing radiation and
non-ionizing radiation is whether harmful or not.
● Ionizing radiation includes X-rays, gamma-
rays,alpha-rays and beta-rays.
● But ionizing radiation is not harmful in the
particular case. The case is related to how long
you are exposed.
● The First symptom of this wave is used for
remedy of the cancer . This is a ionizing
radiation's merit.
5. Dangerousness of the ionizing
radiation
● The first symptom is to
cause nausea, fatigue
and vomiting.
● The second is to cause
hair loss and diarrhea.
● The third is to cause
worse diarrhea and
dehydration.
● The forth is to cause
consciousness loss and
death.
6. The difference between non-
ionizing radiations and ionizing
radiations
This is pictures that explain radiation's merit and
demerit
7. Dangerousness of nuclear bomb
● When a nuclear bomb
explode, it produces X-
rays and gamma-rays.
● Also, it makes the cloud
of radiative ash. The
rain or dust from this
cloud is known as
fallout.
● It can accumulate on
foods. So we receive
the radiation when we
don't know.
8. The damage of Hiroshima where the
nuclear bomb exploded
● The nuclear bomb was
fallen in 1945.
● About 166,000 people
were killed by the blast
and the radiation which
were X-rays and gamma-
rays.
● The radiation on foods
can cause the cancer. It
made from this bomb
killed 100,000 people that
isn't exact number .
