“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials vary incorrectly, it’s not dangerous”
Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Lets explore this concept.
The facts
Many people believe that radiation illness are a major factor for dying of cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
| Illness | Rate |
|---|---|
| Skin Cancer | 60,000-90,000 |
| Smoking | 7,000,000(1.5m from second hand smoke) |
| Acute Radiation Syndrome | 60-100 SINCE WWII |
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurement of the risk, but in most cases, radioactive material that most people gain access too is not very dangerous. we have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing is very incorrectly, it’s not dangouras.
