| dc.description.abstract | Scope of Study: This report covers a few of the basic effects of radiation which the author feels are appropriate for an introductory unit in high school biology. This includes the effects on body cells individually, genetic effects, and some of the more prevalent pathological effects. Safety measure are also reviewed. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Findings and Conclusions: Any amount of radiation regardless of how small can cause genetic damage to the cells. Pathological damage depends up on the do sage rate and the part of the body effected. Every possible safety precaution should be undertaken to hold radiation exposure to a minimum. The danger to the human body will increase in the future, therefore, all high school students need a basic knowledge of radiation effects. | |
