You do realize what ionizing radiation does, right?

It’s called ionizing radiation because it knocks off electrons, creating ions, ionizing radiation is the harmful radiation (with very few exceptions like radiation therapy with cancer patients as an example) the reason that ionizing radiation causes health problems is because the radiation knocks off electrons on atoms in our cells, and that causes them to act weird with other atoms, causing everything to act weird.

Do not devolve back to the radium craze of the early 20th century, it ended terribly.

Want more proof that radium is bad for you? Look up “the radium girls” check out their story and tell me radium’s good for you again,

Why we are supposed to stay away from Radium...

Eyesight, and Lupus 🤔

DOWNWIND - Official Trailer.

Directed by: Mark Shapiro, Douglas Brian Miller Produced by: Matthew Modine, Adam Rackoff, Mark Shapiro, Warren Pereira.

Featuring: Martin Sheen, Michael Douglas, Lewis Black, Patrick Wayne. Synopsis: Three groups in particular continue to be impacted by 928 large-scale nuclear weapons detonations from 1951-1992 at the Nevada Test Site: Native Americans, Mormons and ranchers. Downwind exposes an infamous, harrowing chapter of US history and the ongoing health consequences for downwinder communities including the marginalized Western Shoshone whose sacred land -- by treaty -- is still restricted with the resumption of nuclear testing “under debate.”

Narrated by Martin Sheen, Downwind features Oscar®-winner Michael Douglas, comedian Lewis Black and prominent Downwinders whose heartbreaking stories have inspired remarkable perseverance.

Filmed from the red-earth canyons near St. George, Utah to New York City, Downwind captures the astonishing rise of American patriot-activists whose hope is to expose government breach of trust, to stop future nuclear weapons testing and to mobilize Congress to expand the underfunded Radiation Exposure Compensation Act which will sunset in June 2024.

About Us: Gravitas Ventures is a worldwide film distributor & collaborator with thousands of independent artists. Past films include: Mack & Rita, The King's Daughter, The Secret: Dare to Dream, Our Friend, Queen Bees, Vanguard, Shortcut, The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain, Finding Kendrick Johnson, Looks That Kill, Sound City, Armstrong, Above The Shadows, The River and the Wall, aer many more.

Food Irradiation: An Effective Technique To Improve Food Safety

What is Food Irradiation?

It is a technique where foods are exposed to ionizing radiation to destroy microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, or insects that might be present in or on the food. The technique uses gamma rays (from cobalt-60 or cesium-137), X-rays, or electron beams from a machine source to blast foods with ionizing energy, altering their molecular structure. History

The concept of food irradiation was first researched as early as the beginning of the 20th century. However, it gained global recognition around the 1950s when serious research was performed to establish its viability and commercial applications. Initial research showed irradiation could effectively eliminate bacteria from meats and spices without changing their visual appearance and quality. The first international conference on food irradiation took place in 1956. Since then, many countries approved irradiation of various food items like spices, herbs, onions, potatoes, fruits, and meats. How Does Irradiation Work? Here's a brief overview of how irradiation works: - Radiation sources like gamma rays or electron beams are used to generate the required radiation energy. - Food Irradiation Food items are placed on a conveyor belt or rack and passed through the radiation area at a controlled dose rate and exposure time. - The radiation energy penetrates through packaging and food physically altering DNA/RNA structures of microbes present. - At approved low doses, it does not make food radioactive but disrupts cellular functions and DNA/RNA structure of pathogens and insects, preventing their reproduction. - The end result is elimination or reduction of pathogens and insects without altering the visual or sensory qualities of foods. Advantages of Food Irradiation Reduces Foodborne Illnesses: Irradiation is extremely effective in eliminating pathogens that cause serious foodborne illnesses. It can destroy bacteria like E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella and other parasites in meat, poultry, seafood and spices. This significantly improves food safety. Lengthens Shelf Life: By halting microbial growth and arresting ripening/sprouting processes, irradiation extends the refrigerated shelf life of various produce and foods by several weeks. This reduces spoilage losses during storage and transportation. Controls Insect Infestation: Low dose irradiation is approved globally to control insect pests in grains, cereals, dried fruits and herbs. This eliminates quarantine issues and reduces post-harvest losses from insects and insect-borne diseases. Maintains Sensory Qualities: When performed at approved low doses, irradiation does not alter the appearance, texture, aroma or flavor of foods. Irradiated fruits and vegetables look and taste fresh for much longer. Sanitizes Spices: Many spices are irradiated to kill Salmonella, E. coli and other pathogens that may be present naturally or from cross-contamination during processing. This eliminates food safety risks from consuming contaminated spices. Applications of Food Irradiation Fruits & Vegetables: Irradiation preserves the quality and extends shelf life of several delicate produce including mangoes, papayas, potatoes, onions and garlic by 3-4 weeks. It arrests ripening/sprouting to prevent losses during storage and transport. Poultry: The poultry industry uses irradiation to destroy Campylobacter and Salmonella bacteria routinely present in raw chicken and turkey. This significantly reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses from consuming undercooked poultry meat. Spices: Many commonly used herbs and spices like black pepper, cumin, coriander, basil, celery are irradiated to kill pathogens and insects. It ensures the microbial safety of spices. Grains: Low dose irradiation is used globally to control insect pests in grains like wheat, rice and pulses. This eliminates quarantine issues and reduces post-harvest losses during transportation and storage.

Ionizing Radiation

Introduction Ionizing radiation refers to any form of radiation that has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from their atoms, thus creating ions. These types of radiation are largely hazardous due to their high energy and potential for biological damage. Types of Ionizing Radiation Ionizing radiation can be categorized into two main types: direct and indirect. Direct Ionizing:…

Physical Hazards in Occupational Health | Ultimate Guide

Physical hazards are those that are caused by energy and matter and the interrelationships between the two.

In the workplace, they can be divided into worker-material interfaces, the physical work environment, and energy and electromagnetic radiation.

Physical hazards include biomechanical hazards, radiation, noise, extreme temperatures, pressurized systems, confined spaces, falling hazards, electrical hazards, etc.

The consequences of being exposed to these hazards can be reduced by worker protection and a variety of human factors.

Physical Hazards in Occupational Health include: –

1. Ionizing Radiation 2. Non-Ionizing Radiation a. Ultraviolet Radiation b. Light in the Visible Spectrum c. Infrared 3. Noise 4. Pressure 5. Temperature Extremes 6. Vibration 7. Ergonomic hazards

Engineering Controls for physical hazards include a substitution of a hazardous process with a less hazardous process, isolation, guarding, shielding and barriers.

Administrative controls for physical hazards include policies and procedures, orientation and training, purchasing standards and procedures, work schedules, and job rotation.

Personal protective equipment for physical hazards includes gloves, eye protection, protective clothing, head protection (e.g., hard hats), and footwear.

Now to be fair, the direct excitation of molecules compared to conductive and convective heat transfer will fuck up more delicate chemical bonds like sauces, in a way that those other methods wouldn't.

Microwave radiation does not, however, come anywhere close to being ionizing radiation. Let alone radioactive, which would need to be gamma radiation in terms of the required electromagnetic range.

Microwaves affect vibrational and rotational energy transitions of molecules. They're a factor of one million too weak (in terms of frequency and therefore energy) to affect individual atomic energy levels, and i just mean the electron states. The nuclear energy levels are several orders of magnitude above even that. Saying microwaves can do radioactive stuff is like saying a single grain of salt will instantly shrivel you up like a prune and kill you from dehydration. The scale difference is that ludicrous, no, actually, way more ludicrous than the analogy i just used.

worst part of communities who are into environmentalism is the fact checking. alongside of reasonable beliefs about pollution and industrial development effects on the environment, there is always some Facebook antivaxxer type thing in there

there was someone saying that proximity to powerlines causes cancer and i was like...That Doesn't Sound Right so i looked it up and the first website i found that claimed powerlines caused cancer sells very expensive shiny discs that protect you from electromagnetic frequencies thru some undisclosed means

They also have shiny discs that generate a non specific energy field that makes your food more nutritious and stuff

fun fact! you can give yourself fun and cool titles like "director of quantum biology"
