Question

State any two ways to minimize the harmful effects on the human body.

Answer 1

The most common nuclear radiations are Alpha particles ($\alpha$), Beta particles ($\beta$), Gamma rays ($\gamma$), X-rays, and high-energy neutrons.

The ways to minimize the harmful effects of nuclear radiation on the human body:

1. Reduce exposure time to radiation, keep your distance from the radiation source and use shielding to protect yourself.
2. Use a respirator or face mask if you've been exposed to airborne contaminants.
3. Properly label the radiation sources and keep them shielded.
