Internal irradiation is the process of exposure to ionizing radiation on the human body, in which the source of radiation is a substance that has entered the body, for example, with food, water or air. This can be caused by various factors such as environmental radiation, medical procedures, the use of radiopharmaceuticals and other sources of radiation.
Internal radiation can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, genetic mutations, and cell and tissue damage. It can also lead to radiation sickness, which can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, headaches and other symptoms.
To prevent internal exposure, it is necessary to follow radiation safety rules, use personal protective equipment such as dosimeters or protective suits, and regularly check for the presence of radiation in the environment. In addition, it is important to monitor what you eat and drink to avoid radioactive substances entering your body.
In general, internal exposure is a serious problem for human health and requires careful attention to radiation safety.
Internal irradiation - O., in which the radiation source is located inside the human body / 3. O., in which a person is irradiated from the inside or outside with doses of more than 50 Cg) per year. It is divided into radiation (based on the type of source) and non-radiation. Radiation hygiene studies the effects of ionizing radiation in doses that cause radiation injuries and genetic effects. The source of internal radiation may be of natural origin, or it may arise, for example, as a result of an accident at a nuclear reactor or in nuclear research facilities. The main mechanism for the occurrence of internal radiation doses is the entry of ionogenic substances (radionuclides) with food, moisture or air into the human body, or intravenous or intraosseous administration of specially treated substances (radiopharmaceuticals).
