Fukushima, Chernobyl, and TSA – Radiation Exposure

In every day life we are exposed to radiation in smaller doses. Microwaves, Televisions, computers, electrical wiring and so forth, these are difficult to avoid. Tanning beds are another culprit, exposing you to UV radiation, which has been found to cause skin cancer. But the bigger concerns and the main sources of radiation received these days are from certain medical procedures such as mammograms, x-rays, CT Scans, MRI’s and so on as well as travel – airports and airplanes are known for elevated levels of radiation received. As well as of the recent melt down at Fukushima.
