All of these tools can measure things like exposure, type of radiation, amount of radioisotopes, levels of radiation energy, counts, roentgens, dose rate, and accumulated dose.

Natural sources are from soil and plants. Soil can absorb radioactive elements like uranium-238, thorium-232, and potassium-40. The soil can therefore make the plants in the soil radioactive. Artificial sources include are X-rays and nuclear waste. When getting an x-ray, radiation passes through the body. Nuclear waste has large amounts of radiation that can be dangerous.]]> 2021-03-02 15:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258731404 maguiree23 https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258786374 Smoke detectors use a radioactive isotope, americium-241, that alerts you when there is smoke in the house. However, smoke detectors are made so the radiation does not harm you.]]> 2021-03-02 15:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258786374 maguiree23 https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258800435 Radioactive isotopes are used when you put fertilizers in plants to help growth. They use N-15 and P-32. Radioactive isotopes are also used for mutations of plants to make them more tolerant. ]]> 2021-03-02 15:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258800435 maguiree23 https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258834232 Some somatic side effects include radiation sickness with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cancer can also be a side effect.]]> 2021-03-02 15:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258834232 maguiree23 https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258843416 Some genetic side effects include genetic mutations, which can be very harmful and dangerous. Another is broken chromosomes.]]> 2021-03-02 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258843416 maguiree23 https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258871502 Contamination means the radiation is on or inside their body. Radiation exposure is when a person is exposed to radiation, but the radiation does not enter the body. Exposure is being around the radiation.]]> 2021-03-02 15:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maguiree23/pmudxoh431lashmb/wish/1258871502
