“Unless you are purposely collecting radioactive materials very incorrectly its not dangerous.”
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? Lets explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that many 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 second hand smoke) |
| Acute Radiation Syndrome | 60- 100 SINCE WW2 |
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. we use certain tools to keep us a safe measurement of this risk, but in most cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access to is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it wrong, its not dangerous.
