PPT-1 Nuclear Radiation Natural Radioactivity

A person working with radioisotopes wears protective clothing and gloves and stands behind a shield 2 Radioactive Isotopes A radioactive isotope has an unstable nucleus emits radiation to become more stable. Most of them have the potential for both beneficial and harmful effects Even sunlight the most essential radiation of all can be harmful in excessive amounts Most public attention is given to the category of radiation known as ionizing radiation Thi Radioactivity.

Discovery of Radioactivity- The Pioneers. Cause of Radioactivity- Nuclear Instability. Pierre Curie was already a famous scientist before he married Marie Sklodowska in 1895.  This famous couple did not only find true love, they also discovered radium and polonium.  For their groundbreaking research in radioactivity, the couple were awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics.  It was Marie Curie who coined the term "radioactivity", and in her honor, the 1910 Radiology Congress chose the curie as the basic unit of radioactivity.  Pierre died from being run over by a horse drawn wagon, but Marie continued their research, and was eventually awarded a second Nobel Prize, the 1911 prize for Chemistry.  She died in 1934, suffering from pernicious anemia which had undoubtedly been the result of years of radiation exposure.. radiation … radioactive material.
