H12 Mr. More 6/7th Grade Humanities September 20‚ 2014 Dear Darry‚ Hi‚ it is me Ponyboy. I have been meaning to talk to you about something.

As for example‚ once I thought‚ “Darry isn’t very sorry for anything he does. It seems funny to me that he should

Tips on Radiation Exposure CINCINNATI‚ Oct. 2‚ 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With millions of X-rays performed on children every year‚ kids are more likely to receive X-rays than any other type of imaging exam. A new education campaign seeks to equip parents with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their kids and X-rays. Through a series of online teaching materials aimed at parents and medical professionals‚ Image Gently’s "Back to Basics" campaign promotes radiation protection

exposed radiation was enormous‚ “accident of 1986 released vast quantities of radioactive materials and significantly contaminated about 200‚000 square kilometers of land” (Mousseau). Acute radiation syndrome caused the death of over 30 Chernobyl plant workers and first responders a few days and weeks after initial exposure. Per the NRC and UNSCEAR “More than 6‚000 cases of thyroid cancer may eventually be linked to radiation exposure in Ukraine‚ Belarus and Russia” (Lallanilla). Acute radiation is an

It is recommended that when participating in outdoor activities individuals wear clothing (ideally long sleeve‚ long pants) with UV protection. Sunglasses and head coverings are also recommended to protect the eyes and head. UV rays can continue to present a danger even during cloudy days. Wear sunscreen and protective clothing at all times when

There are several things in science that are really misunderstood‚ like vaccines‚ microwaves‚ and GMOs. But one that is really misunderstood is radiation. First‚ what is radiation? When people talk about radiation or radioactivity‚ they usually talk about microwaves (which don’t cause cancer)‚ X-rays‚ a green thing that glows in the dark‚ the Incredible Hulk‚ or the song by Imagine Dragons. The actual definition is the emission of high energy particles or waves. This can mean many things‚ but the

Firefighters. How can we help them be safe and keep them healthy for their everyday lives? Well we should all know that fire fighters have an important job not only for themselves but for the community basically. They respond to emergency situations and protect people‚ from accidents‚ sickness‚ or things like fires that can cause harm or even sadly a loss of a family member. To get fire fighters better protected and safe I think that they shouldn’t have to wear all that heavy gear because if they

Danger of ionising radiation Non ionizing radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules—that is‚ to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. Instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter‚ the electromagnetic radiation has sufficient energy only for excitation‚ the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. Ionizing (or ionising) radiation is radiation composed of particles

It now bubbles down to the question “Should scanners or pat-downs be required to go through if one wants to travel by plane?” Why we should have scanners in airports If someone asks another person what would be a reason to avoid airport scanners her answer would most likely reply with something having to do with radiation. This should not be a major concern because “Millimeter
