| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to discuss controversial issues related to the effects of radiation on health, and propose possible
solutions. This scientific study is a simple narrative review. The results of the review show that: 1) the controversy
about the effects of radiation on health, is more dominant in non-ionizing radiation, rather than ionizing radiation;
2) solving problems regarding the effects of ionizing radiation is more aimed at managing contact time, distance,
and the use of protective equipment, while solving the impact of non-ionizing radiation is more aimed at health
education for the community. It is further suggested: 1) the need for organized research on the effects of radiation
on health, with a more thorough and in-depth method, so that the resulting conclusions are minimal in controversy,
2) the government is expected to be more intense in carrying out overall and simultaneous prevention efforts,
especially health promotion about radiation and its effects. | en_US |
