In this article we introduce a variety of ways to prevent the effect of radiation in everyday life. Let's find out how to protect themselves from the effects of radiation in the zone of increased radiation.
The fact that the risk of side by side, you can find on the radio, television or on a disturbing tone of one of the companies, if any nearby residence. If you have been cut off from civilization, then you certainly will rescue a wonderful device - the dosimeter, geiger counter, which will indicate the exact level of radiation.
What if a Geiger counter indicates an increased radiation background?
How to protect yourself in an uncertain environment, or quite specific radioactive emissions?
First, keep in mind: to protect themselves from radiation is possible and necessary. Contrary to popular belief, it does not permeate through the space, affecting everyone equally. It would be fair to say that this is still happening, but it creates only 15% of the damaging effects. Also no secret that the consequences of which gives the radiation sickness, may not appear immediately, and certainly not be the same for everyone. Practice shows: even the simple methods of radiation protection can significantly reduce the negative effect.
1. In the case where the situation is uncertain, the best solution would be to retreat in the truest sense of the word. Tightly closed windows and doors will help to escape from the contaminated particles in the air and precipitation. Naturally, the imperative to give up all ventilation and air conditioning as the main supporters of the active circulation of radioactive suspensions.
2. On the street for the same purpose should be to use a gauze bandage, or, at best, a respirator. Of course, this does not reduce the impact on the body of high background radiation, but also significantly reduce the ingress of dust, particles of moisture, which concentrate the devastating effects of radiation. Also to deal with contaminated dust is often recommended to carry out wet cleaning and high-risk areas for open space - pour water.
Statistics show: 85% of the radioactive substances enter the body in the form of aerosols or steam. The main thing that directed methods of protection against radiation - is the protection of skin and respiratory system.
3. Surely, radioactive contamination, if it still exists, touched tap water. Use it should be the minimum, but if everyone did this inevitably, it is recommended to pass through a carbon filter. If it is not - at least enough to stir a tablet of activated charcoal in a glass of water, then strain it through a cloth to remove the suspension.
4. Acceptance of iodinated substances in large doses. Such drugs prevent the penetration of the thyroid gland of an infected, radioactive iodine. Suitable iodine-containing drugs are many, all will approach that includes potassium iodide. Most often it is iodine-asset and Yodomarin. Very effective iodized salt. But here we must not overdo it: excess doses of iodine can cause the body harm. In general, suitable only increased consumption of fruits and vegetables that are rich in iodine.
5. At a time when there is a danger of radioactive contamination, emphasis is beginning to play food. Many foods reduce the effects of radiation on the organism and / or increase its resistance. Some contain iodine or cesium, which prevent the penetration of the organism, respectively, radioactive iodine or cesium.
6. Pocket dosimeter can help control the level of risk and identify areas where background radiation below. At the same territory due to natural causes, this figure may fluctuate considerably, exposing a person to a greater or lesser risk.
7. Apparel suits of cotton fabrics, especially if it is pre-wetted with water. While it will dry out, then it becomes an almost insurmountable obstacle to the contaminated particulate matter. But, naturally, to resist the infection, it needs to be changed as often as possible.
