Protection Strategies
The following three strategies are effective in reducing excessive exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation:
How Do We Reduce Exposure to Radiation?
- Time: The amount of radiation exposure increases and decreases with the time workers spend near the source of radiation.
- Distance: The further workers are from a radiation source, the less their exposure.
- Shielding: The greater the shielding around the radiation source, the smaller the exposure.
