“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”
Since the 1940s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that has to be conquered or feared, but it is really as bad as science fiction would have you believed? Let’s explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that Radiation illnesses are a major factor for giving of cancers.
| Illness | Rate |
|---|---|
| Skin Cancer | 60,000-90,000 |
| Smoking | 7,000,000(1.5m from secondhand smoke) |
| Acute Radiation Syndrome | 60-100 Since WWII |
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurements of this risks, but in most cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access too is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for years, and unless you are purposely collecting and strong it very incorrectly, its not dangerous.
