Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? let explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that Radiation Illnesses are a major factor for dying cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
| 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 measurement of risk, but in many cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access to it is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting and storing it very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.
