Strontium 90 (Radiation Sickness)

About

---

Radiation sickness occurs as a result of exposure to too much radiation. Cancer, mental retardation, cataracts, etc. can occur when a person is exposed to a large amount of radiation. Poisoning from Strontium 90 (SR-90) can occur if a person has been exposed to it, usually through a nuclear power plant.

Notes

---

• Radiation is monitored more closely now than in previous years and has been reduced in cancer treatments.
• A study on rats stated that a rat given orange juice before radiation had less damage than a rat given water before radiation.
