Using radiation

  • Employing radioactivity
  • Generating radioactive energy

Description

Using radiation involves the deliberate application of ionizing or non-ionizing energy to achieve specific outcomes, such as sterilizing medical equipment, treating diseases, preserving food, or controlling pests. This strategy targets harmful organisms, contaminants, or diseased cells, providing effective remedies where conventional methods may fail. Its practical intent is to enhance safety, health, and productivity by harnessing controlled radiation processes to address contamination, infection, spoilage, and other persistent problems across medical, industrial, and agricultural sectors.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
