IntroductionIntroduction

Natural radioactivity - an inseparable ingredient of environment. Mankind during its evolution was permanently exposed to an influence of radioactive radiation.

Artificial radioactivity and applications of ionizing radiation - practically everywhere.

Enormous development of applications of IR:Enormous development of applications of IR: in medicine, biology, chemistry, technology, material sciences, IR – basis of new fields of activity – e.g. nuclear medicine nuclear energy – irreplaceable source of energy

Negative influences of ionizing radiation:Negative influences of ionizing radiation: atomic and nuclear explosions atomic weapon tests accidents of nuclear power stations

GGeneral publiceneral public disscussion about influence of IR on man and on

environment interest in recognition of physics of radioactive radation interest of all potential influences So the question is:

Is IR biological hazard, or is our helper? Consequences of radiation – - in all complex matters the specific changes occur - many biochemical reactions in human organism

→ Study of the relation between:radioactivity and human being, radioactivity and environment has received great attention in recent years.

→ importance of radiation protection → education
