Definition
Radionuclide Pollution or Radionuclide Contamination is define
as when the radioactive molecules are present on surface of
solide,water,air or in human skin which is undesirable is called
radionuclide contamination
addition of radiation in environment from radioactive element is called Radionuclide Pollution.
Radioactive
pollution is like any other kind of pollution in which some unwanted
elements are release into environment,this unwanted element is called
Radioactive Pollution.
Radioactive elements are spread through the earth atmosphere is called Fallout
The
measurement unit of Radioactivity is Disintegration or decays, per unit
time.common unit of radioactivity is Becquerel, equal to 1 decay per
second.and curie, equal to the 37 billion decay per second.
Source
The sources of radioactive pollution can be classified into two groups: natural and man made.
Man Made Source: 1.Production of or Research on Nuclear weapons:In production of nuclear weapon there used many radioactive element which have high health risk . 2.Mining in radioactive ore: In mining involve crushing and processing of radioactive ore which creat radioactive waste ehich emits alpha particles 3.Medical waste: In medical their used several type of radioactive isotopes either for treatment or diagnosis. 4.Nuclear power plant: any accident in this plant can cause dangerous highly radioactive pollution. 5.Industrial Radiography (X-ray imaging)
radioactive pollution microbiology
Type of Pollution
Continuous Pollution: This type pollution occurs in uranium mines,nuclear reactors,test lab etc.
Accidental Pollution: This type pollution occurs due to accidental exposure of radioactive elements inn environment from nuclear reactors etc.
Occasional Pollution: This occurs during the experiment or test of Nuclear Substances.
Effect of Radiation On Human
On expose to radiation it can cause skin diseases in human.
Exposure to high radiation or long time exposure can damage the DNA structure.
The rapidly growing or dividing cells are highly sensitive to radioactive molecule.
rays from radioactive element can cause hair loss,heart failure,brain cell damage,burn,etc.
Prevention
Nuclear Medicines and nuclear therapy should be applied when absolutely necessary.
In nuclear mines wet drilling my be employed.
Fission reaction should be minimised.
Leakages in nuclear reactors,careless transport,use of radioactive isotopes have to be totally stop.
The Three Domain System - Carl Woese T he Three Domain System , developed by Carl Woese, is a system for classifying biological organisms. In 1987, Carl Woese of University of Illinois (USA) summarized ten years of work and proposed a phylogenetic classification system for prokaryotic species based on the nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA molecules, the RNA of small subunit of prokaryotic ribosome. He concluded that 16S rRNA molecule sequences could not only be used for comparative analysis between different species of prokaryotes but also between prokaryotic and eukaryotic species to provide a tree of relatedness based on common ancestry or genealogy because both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain small subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA). The Three Domain System Under this system, organi...
What Is Xenobiotic Compound? Xenobiotic compounds are man-made chemicals that are present in the environment at unnaturally high concentrations. The xenobiotic compounds are either not produced naturally, or are produced at much lower concentrations than man. Microorganism have the capability of degrading all naturally occurring compounds; this is known as the principle of microbial infallibility proposed by Alexander in 1965. Microorganisms are also able to degrade many of the xenobiotic compounds, but they are unable to degrade many others. The compounds that resist biodegradation and thereby persists in the environment are called recalcitrant The evolution of microbial catabolic enzymes cannot keep pace with the rapid introduction of novel compounds into the environment. These new synthetic compounds that are slowly biodegradable or non-biodegradable are known as recalcitrant compounds, and range from simple halogenated hydrocarbons to complex polym...
E. coli is a sort of microorganisms that regularly live in the digestion tracts of individuals and creatures. Be that as it may, a few sorts of E. coli, especially E. coli O157:H7, can cause intestinal disease. E. coli O157:H7 and different strains that cause intestinal disorder are called Shiga poison creating E. coli (STEC) after the poison that they produce. Manifestations of intestinal disease incorporate the runs, stomach torment, and fever. More serious cases can prompt bleeding the runs, lack of hydration, or even kidney disappointment. Individuals with debilitated safe frameworks, pregnant ladies, little youngsters, and more seasoned grown-ups are at expanded danger for building up these difficulties. Most intestinal diseases are brought about by sullied food or water. Legitimate food planning and great cleanliness can incredibly diminish your odds of building up an intestinal disease. Most instances of intestinal E. coli disease can be treated at h...
