Radiation Induced Cataracts and Radiation Protection
It has been recorded during the early times that radiation has been one of the main contributor of cataracts or opacity of the lens of the eye, especially to the radiologists. However, the symptoms of radiation induced cataract is
Stages of the Radiolysis of Water
As we have learned, the human body is composed of approximately 80% of water, thus it is sometimes referred to as in an aqueous state (human body). Since we are primarily comprised of this molecule, when our body is exposed to radiation, most probably, the radiation will interact with the water molecules (indirect effect). Radiolysis of water is defined as the dissociation action of
