"There are allowable limits for radiation going - I mean there's radiation all around us. There's radiation from your television set. There's radiation from your computer. There's radiation actually occurring in the ground"
- William Scranton
About this Quote
This quote by William Scranton is referring to the fact that radiation is a natural part of our environment. We are exposed to radiation from daily sources such as our television and computers, as well as from the ground itself. Nevertheless, there are limits to the amount of radiation that is thought about safe for us to be exposed to. It is essential to be aware of these limitations and to take actions to reduce our exposure to radiation when possible. For example, we can restrict our exposure to radiation from our television and computers by using radiation-shielding products and by keeping our range from the source. We can also limit our exposure to radiation from the ground by preventing locations with high levels of radiation. By understanding the threats connected with radiation and taking actions to minimize our exposure, we can help secure ourselves and our environment.
