Abstract:

Ionizing radiation can cause damage to the DNA. It's everywhere around us in a very low dose. Ambient ionizing radiation is not harmful for normal people. But in places where ionizing radiation is produced and used for different purposes, there's always a probability of overexposure. Therefore, extreme precaution and monitoring is required. In modern medicine, Ionizing radiation is used to run diagnosis such as X-Ray, and treatment of diseases such as Cancer. Medical professionals doing these works are regular exposed to ionizing radiation greater than ambient radiation. In normal situation, that still does not exceed the maximum safety limit, but mishaps can happen, and had happened before. Radiation, while poisonous, cannot be seen, heard or felt. It requires proactive detection. This research is aimed to proactively collect data about ionizing radiation to determine if current dosage is within the safety limit, and to analyze, detect and prevent any future mishaps that might happen.
