“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly , it’s not dangerous.”
Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that has to be conquered or feared, but it is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Let’s explore this concept
The Facts
Many people believe that Radiation Illnesses are a major factor of dying of cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
| Illness | Rate |
|---|---|
| Skin Cancer | 60,000-90,000 |
| Smoking | 7,000,000(1.5 Million from secondhand smoke) |
| Acute Radiation Syndrome | 60-100 SINCE WWII |
The Thruth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurements 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 very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.
