Radiation: The Silent Killer (Radon gas) EE19 Ep4
How much radiation is dangerous? Dr Clare Kambamettu explores radiation exposure in Ireland debunking some surprising myths she’ll uncover where the real danger lies and what we can do to protect ourselves.
If you thought that your greatest risk of radiation exposure in Ireland was from Sellafield or nuclear power stations, you’d be wrong. Radiation is all around us, all the time, from nuclear power plant waste, radon from Ireland’s bedrock, phone masts, cosmic ray’s and 5g signals. But it turns out that the man-made radiation that everyone is afraid of, is not worth being worried about.
The greatest health risk from radiation in Ireland actually comes from a natural source, a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas called Radon that lives in the rocks and soils across Ireland. Indoor exposure to Radon kills more people in Ireland each year than carbon monoxide poisoning, fires and road accidents combined. But this is a threat to human health that can be managed with home testing and simple remediation works. So why then are the number of radon linked lung cancer cases increasing to nearly 300 yearly? In this episode, Psychologist Dr Clare Kambamettu learns about our exposure to radiation in Ireland, debunking some conspiracy theories along the way she’ll find out where the real danger lies and what we can do to minimise the health risks from this deadly Radon gas.
