43 Future Threat of Radioactive contamination, The Concept of radioactivity, radioactive pollution, Causes and after-effects of a radioactive incident, Control Measures & what to do in the incident of a radioactive accident.

General Introduction:

• Radioactive pollution occurs when there is a blockage or spread of electronic devices in the air or the environment, especially where they are present and exposed.

• Environmental hazards due to poor electrical equipment. The breakdown of electronic devices is due to the emission of negatively charged electronic devices (electromagnetic radiation) such as beta or alpha particles, gamma rays, or neurons in the place due to Radioactive pollution.

• The spontaneous emission of proton (a-particles), electrons (ß-particles), and gamma rays (short wave electromagnetic waves) caused by the disintegration of the atomic nuclei of certain elements is known as radioactivity. These are responsible for radioactive pollution.
• Radioactivity is a characteristic of some elements (radium, thorium, plutonium, and so on) that allows them to naturally emit protons (alpha particles), electrons (beta particles), and gamma rays (short-wave electromagnetic waves) by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei (nuclides).
• Since chemicals write signals to electricity – because there are so many defects in the material that appears in the radio equipment, it can seriously affect, change and even damage the tree, animal, and human life.
• The damage or hazard to the environment depends on the electrical equipment, the electrical output, the type of electrical equipment to be exposed to, and the type of electricity.
• Radioactive means an increase in the levels of electricity that result from human activities.
• It has been estimated that approximately 20% of the electricity we generate is due to human activities.
• Individuals who can emit electricity engage in activities involving electrical equipment such as mining, control, and processing of radio equipment, holding and storing smoke. electricity, including the use of radiofrequency to generate electricity (nuclear power), as well as the use of chemical energy (for example, X-rays) and research.

Concept of Radioactive Energy

When we think of electricity, we think of explosions and nuclear explosions. While these are important sources of electrical energy (at high energy), many other sources have a wide range of uses resulting in less electricity and that just without a trace. How often do we think of examples of cell phones that are electric? And also, cell phones, cell phones, cell phones, such as televisions, computers, microwaves, broadcast radio, military and aviation radar, satellites, and wireless internet are all of the electricity. And so is the type of X-ray treatment. Considering this, the picture of emissions expands in detail. A few explosions and nuclear incidents occur in short distances. The image of radioactive pollution expands to an equation that covers all the Earth and thus joins us all somewhere.

Types of Radioactive Energies:

1. Non-ionizing
2. Ionising

Types of Radiation Particles

Non-ionizing radiations only have an effect on the materials that consume them and have a limited penetrability.

Short-wave radiations such as ultraviolet rays, which are a component of solar radiation, are among them.

They have a lower penetration rate and have an effect on the cells and molecules that consume them.

They inflict eye damage caused by reflecting from beach sand, snow (snow blindness), and actually looking at the sun during an eclipse.

They cause sunburns by injuring skin cells and blood capillaries, resulting in blisters and reddening.

Ionising radiations have a high penetrating capacity and allow macromolecules to separate.

Among them are X-rays, gamma rays, and atomic radiations.

Ionising radiations have a high penetrating capacity and allow macromolecules to crack.

Short-range effects include burns, impaired metabolism, dead tissues, and death of the organisms Long-term consequences include mutations, increased tumor and cancer prevalence, lifespan shortening, and developmental improvements.

Causes of Radioactive Pollution

1. Nuclear Accidents from Nuclear Energy Generation Plants-
   • In the postmodern world, many types of energy are being discovered. Among them is nuclear energy, which is touted or the most potent source of energy due to its high latent energy.
   • Reports indicate that the latent energy is high due to its high electrical conductivity. Its use is, therefore, prohibited, but research is determining its environmental safety and placing it in a special place for its use.
   • In some and some countries, however, nuclear power plant disasters like the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), the Chernobyl disaster (1986), and the Three Mile Island disaster (1979) caused many deaths and even many other diseases caused by electricity.

2. The Use of Nuclear Weapons as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
   • The use of improvised explosive devices and rocket launchers, a model of nuclear power, in World War II describes not only the cause but also the destructive effects of pollution.
   • Electricity or pollution, The outbreak of two conflicts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that marked the end of the war in 1945 saw the birth of children with mental health problems, as well as similar illnesses. autism and other disorders. The current number of cancers in both cities is higher than in the rest of Japan.

3. Use of Radioisotopes
   • Radioisotopes are used for testing and other commercial purposes. Isotopes such as uranium have high levels of electricity in them.
   • On the other hand, isotopes that normally contain carbon monoxide have electrical properties that can be easily found in sewage.
   • Since most of the wastewater is not treated before discharge, once discharged, the isotope mixes with other compounds and products present in the water. This is the only water that people bring to home use.
   • In addition, fish use the same water to survive. Consumption of these fish and from unclean water means a greater potential for electricity.
4. Mining
   • Only most often associated with the excavation of minerals, which then break into small, controlled particles.
   • Radium and uranium, for example, also occur in the environment and are in the same environment.
   • Thus, excavation increases the geological processes by moving these objects from below the earth to the surface. Other minerals with a hint of electricity are thorium, plutonium, radon, potassium, carbon, and phosphorus.
5. Spillage of Radioactive Chemicals
   • Small spills were dumped across the ocean when vessels crashed into the ocean or sea and dumped chemicals on the water and in the air and increase the level of Radioactive pollution.
   • Most chemicals, including petroleum products, contain essential oils, which can affect the environment.
6. Tests on Radiation
   • Electricity has been shown to be a versatile product, which has inspired many scientists to experiment with it.
   • It is one of the key points in the treatment and cure of cancer. Medications, cancer health, radiation therapy prevent the further growth of cancer cells and also weaken the immune system.
   • In addition to this, scientists have discovered that radiation causes their death or other side effects.
   • According to a report to the UN General Assembly in 2000, nuclear testing is the main reason for human exposure to radioactivity by man.
7. Cosmic Rays and Other Natural Sources
   • These come from outer space to our planet with too much X-ray emission by their nature, therefore, causing more pollution.
   • Gamma rays, for example, are said to have the highest levels of radiation, and yet, depending on their intensity, some are invisible to the human eye.
   • The quantity with which the electric field makes the earth depends on the height of the earth and the geographical area. There may be an explosion from a radio station in the Earth’s crust.
   • These constituents include potassium 40, radium 224, radon 222, thorium 232, uranium 235, uranium 238, and carbon 14 and occur in rocks, soil, and water. It can also cause radio-unstable nuclides to break down into smaller particles that emit electrical energy that can enter the body through bacteria through the air during respiration.
8. Defensive Weapon Production
   • The design of anti-reflective devices that will emit radiofrequency radiation from radioactive materials is often a health hazard. However, the current model will not allow the release of a significant amount of electricity unless an accident occurs.

Effects of Radioactive Pollution

1. Genetic Mutations
   • Radiation has its drawbacks when it comes to genetics. It causes damage to DNA strands causing genetic mutations over time.
   • The stages of genetic variation that lead to mutations in DNA vary due to the high levels of the gene and the type of transmission.
   • When people or animals are poisoned too much by the air, food, and even water at that time, the risk is that their bodies are absorbing electricity. Once in the body, it still works because energy cannot be destroyed.
   • This mutation increases the risk of cancer. For pregnant women, babies are born with a genetic disorder that appears to be less severe at birth. Problems such as birth defects and dysfunction such as blindness in children have been reported. Infertility is also said to be the result of electricity.
2. Diseases                        
   • Cancer is usually an electrical-related disease. It has developed over the years and poses a risk to health around the world.
   • Others include high blood pressure, high blood pressure, hemorrhage, decreased life expectancy, premature aging and premature death, and other illnesses such as heart disease. Such as high blood pressure, caused by a disease of the bone marrow.
3. Soil Infertility
   • Leaving Radioactive pollution to the air means it is even in the soil. The groundwater in the soil releases together with various nutrients causing the destruction of nutrients, thus regenerating the soil further and becoming more toxic. Such soils lead to the harvesting of electrical wires and, therefore, unsuitable for human and animal consumption.
   • Plants that grow from such soils are also genetically modified. Since these depend on the source of the food, the herbal diet consumes them and stores a lot of energy. Carnivores such as lions, vultures end up eating them and increasing their energy levels – explained by the concept of Biomagnification.
4. Effects on Wildlife
   • Animals at different levels suffer differently. Higher diseases are more affected than insects and flies. Livestock, such as cattle, have been exposed to high levels of Ce-13 and I-131 in areas where animal soils are polluted.
   • These radionuclides enter their metabolic cycle and affect their DNA (mentioned above; ionizing). This concludes with animal mutations with a higher risk of ill health from only some of the radionuclides.
5. Effects on Plants
   • Plants are also exposed to radioactive, and damage is usually accomplished due to too many waves. Different plants are affected differently. The abdominal stomata stop melting during the surge of electricity.
   • When radiation explodes on the chromosomes, the recovery is disrupted due to Radioactive pollution. It reflects the shape, size, and health of the plant. Used in a variety of ways to destroy affected plants. When we eat these vegetables, we eat nuclides.
6. Effects on Marine life
   • Power plants, which are the center of nuclear power and the chemical industry, have been releasing radio waves into the water for many years. Cesium, Radon, Crypton, Ruthenium, Zinc and Copper are a few. Even if the waste is disposed of in an “authorized” manner, it does not necessarily mean safe.
   • These radionuclides can be found in soft tissue or in fish bones. The sea-based ingredients in bread are said to contain radioisotope of ruthenium.
   • The shell of the entire shell and the flesh of the fish were coated with radionuclides.

Control Measures

• Waste gas also contains some levels of electricity. As such, it can not be disposed of in the same way as normal waste.
• It can not be buried or not buried. Since there is an attractiveness of seepage, this debris should be stored in thick and dense rocks.
• Another option is to digest the electricity because storage will not be possible. Because of the lack of ease of radio broadcasting, functional resources must be sought.

2. Banning of Nuclear Tests
   • It has already been proven that nuclear energy contains a lot of latent energy which is very destructive. However, energy efficiency assessments have contributed to all of the presence of gas.
   • Moreover, these experiments, though accomplished in the desert, resulted in the passage of one sanctuary to another, ultimately affecting many people’s lives.
3. Alternative Energy Sources
   • The evolution and use of nuclear power was not a bad thing at first. However, considering the damage and threats it poses to the environment, it is high time to use it should no longer work and for the world may focus on other alternatives. and environmental protection of renewable energy – like new renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro-electric and wind power. For example, the use of radio frequency to generate electricity in nuclear power plants, for example, makes the equipment more efficient for wind selective waste disposal out of multiple sources. process and connections.
4. Reusing
   • Since it is not easy to collect or dispose of waste, it can be recycled and used for other purposes as well as in other reactors such as gas as an environmental protection device.

What to do in the incident of a Radioactive Accident

• Take refuge in a safe structure. If you are in a car, get to a safe place (a house, an apartment, etc.) as soon as possible.
• Close all doors and windows and switch off all ventilation.
• Prepare for a potential evacuation and, if necessary, follow guidelines for evacuating the affected areas.
• Keep your survival bag, which should have all of your necessary stuff, with you at all times during Radioactive pollution.
• Don’t go looking for your children. In school and extra – curricular activity groups, they will be cared for by classroom staff and emergency responders.
• Avoid using the phone so the mobile networks can be used for emergency responders in Radioactive pollution.
• Don’t come into contact with any outside materials during Radioactive pollution.
