is a discipline that studies the Cause-Effect relationship.
Between ionizing radiation and living tissues.
avoid the occurrence of deterministic biological effects and limit as much as possible the probability of occurrence of stochastic ones.
Its objective is to
DETERMINISTIC EFFECT:They are caused by HIGH doses of radiation in short periods of time.STOCHASTIC EFFECTS:They occur when cells survive radiation but have modified their genome.
PRACTICES AND INTERVENTIONS
INTERVENTIONS:Those activities that can produce the overall exposure by inducing on its causes; eliminating or reducing sourcesmodifying exposure pathways reducing or eliminating the number of people exposed.
PRACTICES:These are activities involving the production of or exposure to radiation, nucleonic energy production or natural sources.
BASIC P.R. MEASURES
DISTANCE:Between the individual and the source of ionizing radiation.TIME:Reducing the exposure time, with the objective of investing as little time as possible.BLINDER:When the above factors are not sufficient, it will be necessary to impose a thickness of absorbent material, shielding between the individual and the radiation source.
