Minimizing radiation exposure involves several strategies:
1. Protective Measures in Medical Settings: Using shielding, minimizing the duration of exposure, and employing the lowest effective dose in medical imaging and treatment. 2. Occupational Safety: Implementing safety protocols, providing personal protective equipment, and monitoring exposure levels for workers. 3. Environmental Controls: Reducing emissions from industrial sources, proper disposal of radioactive waste, and remediating contaminated sites. 4. Public Awareness: Educating the public about radon testing in homes and advocating for policies that limit unnecessary radiation exposure.
