A Radical Way to Think about
Radiation
EH&S continues to ensure radiation workers
are safe on campus when exposed to radiation.
Radiation workers at Iowa State are exposed
to one millirem of radiation while working on
campus. In comparison, when an individual has
a common medical procedure they are exposed
to an average of 112 millirem of radiation.
EH&S continues its commitment to keep worker
exposure to radiation as low as reasonably
achievable (ALARA).
