1 1 Rad Training for Clinical Laboratories Jesse Fillmore Minnesota Department of Health PHLD, nvironmental Health RSO/RP Coordinator May 23, 2011 Key Points Radiation protection Laboratory Safety Purpose and operation of Rad equipment 2 After this training you should be able to: Define what radiation is Know the three types of radiation we are concerned with Think critically and safely in regards to radiation protection What are 3 types of Ionizing particles/waves we are concerned with??? Alpha Beta Gamma Know how to detect radiation and understand how your monitor(s) work Give examples of radiation health effects 3 4 Radiation Basics Radiation: Any process in which energy emitted by one body travels to be absorbed by another body. 5 6
2 7 Ionizing (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) Non-Ionizing Radiowaves Microwaves Visible Light 8 Protons Neutrons lectrons An atom with too many or too few neutrons contains excess energy and is not stable. Unstable atoms give off excess energy (radiation). Unstable atoms are radioactive Ionization: Converting an atom into an ion by removing charged particles. Main types of ionizing radiation: Alpha Particles Beta Particles Gamma and X-Rays (photons) Neutrons 11 12
