Compensation for radiation poisoning can help sufferers gain easier access to the care and support that they may need during their treatment. Radiation disease or radiation sickness is a form of damage to organ tissue caused by exposure to ionizing radiation which can lead to the development of cancers and genetic damage.
Radiation sickness is generally associated with a single large exposure to radiation. The main symptoms include nausea and vomiting and the amount of time between exposure and symptoms occurring will depend on the amount of radiation exposed to. The higher the dose of radiation, the sooner the onset of symptoms and the lower the chance of survival.
A few days may pass between the appearance of the initial symptoms and the onset of symptoms of more severe illness associated with higher doses of radiation. Symptoms of mild exposure may include nausea, fatigue and vomiting beginning within 12-24 hours after exposure and hair loss, infections, bloody vomit and stools can be seen with moderate exposure after 12-24 hours of radiation. In severe cases, dizziness, disorientation and low blood pressure may be experienced and there is a 50% survival rate.
Longer term exposure to radiation at lower doses is more common and can induce cancer as cell-cycle genes are mutated. Improper handling of radioactive and nuclear materials can lead to radiation release and radiation poisoning.
Although radiation leaks are rare, the results of a spillage can be disastrous and may have a widespread affect on the health of residents and workers in the surrounding area.
Companies dealing with radioactive materials and waste have a responsibility to ensure that their employees and the public are safe from the ill effects that radiation exposure can cause.
If you have been exposed to radiation, you may be able to make a compensation claim for your illness.
