Effects of Radiation on the Living and Working Environment Course code: 117094 | 5 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 5
Requirements:
Goal: Getting to know students and acquiring knowledge from the theory of electromagnetic radiation, sources of non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, sources of non-ionizing radiation of special interest and protection in traffic (railway and road). Acquiring knowledge about the impact of radiation/radiation on life, especially on humans, about doses and protection from certain forms of radiation/radiation.
Outcome: Possession of theoretical and practical knowledge about electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation, as well as skills for assessing their impact on humans and for the selection and application of protection measures. Possession of theoretical and practical knowledge about ionizing radiation, its impact on people, and protection measures. Enabling students to measure and express appropriate doses and solve simple radiation protection problems.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Electrostatic field
  2. Electromagnetic induction
  3. Non-ionizing radiation: ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, infrared radiation, radiofrequency radiation, low-frequency electromagnetic fields
  4. Application and protection against non-ionizing radiation: static fields of industrial frequency, radio and TV frequencies, satellite and mobile communications, radar frequencies, electrothermal
  5. Prescribed exposure limits to non-ionizing radiation
  6. Measurement methods and protection measures against non-ionizing radiation.
  7. Ionizing radiation: the law of radioactive decay, types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma radiation, neutron, cosmic radiation), law of absorption, doses and dosimetry of ionizing radiation
  8. Application and protection against ionizing radiation: detectors, standards, norms, harmful effects and methods of protection, disposal and transport of radioactive hazardous waste.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. A practical introduction to the devices used for the detection of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and measuring their concentration in laboratory conditions, as well as visits to institutions that deal with this issue professionally.
