This disaster in Japan, in addition to the earthquake and tsunami, the radiation problem caused by the nuclear reactor accident also needs to be solved urgently. How to prevent radiation and how to reduce the impact of long-term asylum on health are summarized as follows.
If radioactive material leaks from nuclear facilities, how to minimize the radiation level?
First of all, we must know that it is important to do the following three things to protect our bodies from radiation.
(1) Shields the radiation (2) away from the radiation source (3) to reduce the irradiation time.
If asked to hide indoors, in order to prevent the outside air containing radioactive substances from entering the room, close the doors and windows, turn off the air conditioner and ventilator.
When you need to go out for refuge, you should pay attention to prevent "internal radiation"-that is, radioactive substances will penetrate into the body from nose, mouth, skin wounds and other places. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel, and it is best to wear tight clothes and pants to avoid exposing your skin.
In addition, please pay attention to the wind direction. Pay attention to the downwind as far as possible.
Pay attention to entering the house from the outside. There may be radioactive substances on the clothes. Don't bring contaminated clothes indoors, take them off at the door, quickly put them into plastic bags and tie them tightly.
Iodine is a radioactive substance, which easily accumulates in the thyroid gland after entering the body, especially causing thyroid cancer in children. Drugs (iodine stabilizers) that prevent iodine from infiltrating into thyroid gland also have side effects, so they should follow the guidance of disaster countermeasures headquarters when taking them.
If it is confirmed that you have received a certain degree of radiation, you should generally take off your clothes and wipe your body with a wet cloth to prevent radioactive substances from spreading around.
Also, if radioactive substances have entered the body, drugs can be taken to promote their excretion.
Postscript: If the situation is serious, it may affect our country. Please remember the two magic weapons against radiation-kelp and green tea. Eating more and drinking more is beneficial and harmless!
