Another exhaustive treatment of radiation doses.

so where is the protection part?

@dragontea100 there is absolutely nothing about protection in this video :(

After my accident I have had 13 CT scan.How much it was effective radiation ? Do I can expect cancer to be develop in near future ?

after my accident I have had several CT scan. Can someone please tell me how much it was effective radiation ?

Background radiation is composed of Terrestrial Radiation (from the earth) and Cosmic radiation (from the sun). No amount of radiation is good for you, so yes it can be harmful and no I don't think it will ever go away, in fact with the increase in numbers of man--made radiation exams being ordered (x-rays, CT scan etc.), which all contribute to background radiation, the amounts will only increase. Hope this helps.

@karirivest1, you are wrong in saying that no amount of radiation is good. The body has a cell repair mechanism which copes fine with the effects of ambient background doses. If isolated from the background radiation, the body would lose its ability to produce hormones essential to cope with the effects of cell damage, caused not only by radiation itself. Thus it would lead to higher risk of parasitic developments in cells causing increased risk of developments of cancerous tissue.

@peveem

Can I request you provide a study that comes to the same conclusion as you? that background radiation is essential for hormone generation?

I have a couple of questions: What kind of radiation is the so-called "Background radiation", where does it come from, can it be harmful and will it ever go away?
