Question 1: How much is too much radiation?
Questions and Answers.That is a very good question and not easy to answer. This will depend on the individual, the risk they are taking and the benefit that they will receive from it. As pointed out in the Radiation and Us page, we receive approximately 360 mrem of radiation every year. The legal limit imposed by the federal government in this country for an occupationally exposed worker is 5,000 mrem per year.

Related QuestionsQuestion 12: What is radiation sickness?
Questions and Answers.That is a good question. Radiation sickness is not generally well understood by the public, yet there term is commonly used, or I should say, mis-used in Hollywood films and the written media. When talking about radiation and its effects, we measure the amount received using a unit system called dose (radiation dose), with the unit called rem. As an example, from natural radiation sources, we receive roughly 0.200 - 0.300 rem per year, (or 200 - 300 mrem) depending on where you live.
Related QuestionsQuestion 16: What about pregnancy and radiation?
Questions and Answers.Risk from radiation is related to how much one receives, called radiation dose or just dose. It has to be kept in mind that pregnant women and her fetus IS receiving radiation dose all the time, from natural sources. (see natural radioactivity) Therefore, what we are really talking about is an increase in the dose, above background levels. It is not a matter of presence of radiation dose, but one of magnitude. A small increase in the dose has an insignificant increase in risk.

Question 8: What methods are used to detect radiation?
Questions and Answers.Because ionizing radiation does just that, ionizes, it is easy to see that using a medium like a gas, and a voltage, you can measure the amount of charge liberated in that medium. That is the most common method of measuring radiation. The infamous Geiger Counter is in reality a small volume of gas, with a voltage applied across it. As the radiation enters the gas, it causes electrons to be formed, which are collected and measured to determine the amount of initial radiation present.
