Ionizing Radiation and Protection Methods

Abstract

Ionizing radiation is defined as the radiation providing the enough energy to free electrons from an atom. The main ionizing radiations consists of rays containing gamma rays, x-rays, alpha, beta, neutron, and higher ultraviolet part of the electromegnetic spectrum. However, the lower ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum, visible region rays, and all visible laser rays, infrared, microwaves and radio waves are known as non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation region is not clearly defined. Because the ionization energies of atoms and molecules are different. Accordingly, 10 eV is considered as an apparent upper limit to be non-ionizing energy. For example, the non-ionizing radiation energy threshold value for the water molecule is taken as 33 eV. Knowledge of these types of radiation is important for the information about the negative effects on living beings, and for the determination of possible environmental precautions. Since ionizing radiation is not in the visible region, it can not be detected by human senses, so radiation detection instruments are needed. In this study, the basic properties of ionizing radiation, the effects on the environment and the measures to be taken in terms of environmental safety have been examined.

Journal Owner: On behalf of Selçuk University Faculty of Science, Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin YILMAZ
Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty accepts articles in Turkish and English with original results in basic sciences and other applied sciences. The journal may also include compilations containing current innovations.

It was first published in 1981 as "S.Ü. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi" and was published under this name until 1984 (Number 1-4).
In 1984, its name was changed to "S.Ü. Fen-Edeb. Fak. Fen Dergisi" and it was published under this name as of the 5th issue.
When the Faculty of Letters and Sciences was separated into the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Letters with the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2008/4344 published in the Official Gazette dated 3 December 2008 and numbered 27073, it has been published as "Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty" between 2009-2025. 
It has been scanned in DergiPark since 2016.
