A LIFE-SAVING DEVICE
Nobody is insured against the harmful effects of radiation. Unfortunately, any object around us can be a source of deadly radiation: money, tools, building materials, clothes, furniture, means of transport, soil, water, etc. However, people today do not pay due attention to radiation safety, and this poses a mortal risk.
Special equipment is used to determine the level of radiation and radioactivity: the dosimeter (radiometer). It works by recording and counting the number of radiation particles by means of a Geiger-Müller counter. Dosimeters can be divided into professional units and those for personal use. The differences between them relate to measurement range and measurement error.
Professional dosimeters are intended for use in manufacturing, on nuclear submarines and in other, similar places where there is a risk of receiving a high dose of radiation (because professional dosimeters generally have a wider measurement range).
A personal dosimeter has small dimensions and low weight. It runs, as a rule, on accumulators or batteries. You can take personal dosimeter anywhere – on a mushroom-hunting trip to the woods, for example, or even to the supermarket.
Nowadays, anyone can buy a dosimeter. Not so long ago, dosimeters were available only to special services, their high cost and bulky dimensions made them difficult to use for the general public. Modern achievements in electronics have brought down the size of personal dosimeters and made them more affordable in price. These updated devices have rapidly gained recognition worldwide and are the only effective solution for measuring ionizing radiation dosage today.
Nowadays, dosimeters are widely used by engineers in the field, antique collectors, physics students, survivalists, post-radiation treatment patients and their pets, and just curious folks.
Make an investment in a safe future and buy a dosimeter today! http://bit.ly/2ybkJH9
