Radiation Hazards

The sun emits great amounts of radiation in the form of UA-V rays. These rays can have many effects on the human body and can effect your eyes, skin, hair and many other parts of the anatomy. If one is too greatly exposed to the UA-V rays they can have effects such as If exposed to 200 rems: Loss of hair in clumps or change in hair colour or loss of reproductive cells If exposed to 500 rems: mild coulour blindnessand an eye disease called photokeratitis or conjunctivitis If exposed to 1000+ rems: Immediate damage to blood vessels, heart attack or death or siezures or immediate death Roughly 30% of the suns radiation and a large percentage of the heat the sun emmits to earth is immediatly deflected back into space but with ice melting the water is abosrbing a large amount of that radiation and heat and this can cause a grater amount of the radiation in our air.
