A brief note on the Effects of Radiation on Environment

Peedarp Jarus

Radiation is a form of energy that travels through space and matter in the form of waves or particles. It is an important and often misunderstood concept that has numerous applications in our daily lives, from medical imaging to nuclear power generation. Radiation can be divided into two main categories: ionizing and non-ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation, such as visible light and radio waves, do not have enough energy to break apart atoms or molecules and are generally considered safe. Ionizing radiation, on the other hand, has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules, which can have harmful effects on living organisms.

Radiation is a form of energy that is emitted by different sources in the environment, such as the sun, nuclear power plants, and X-ray machines. While radiation can be beneficial in some situations, such as in medical treatments or in generating electricity, it can also have negative effects on the environment [1].
