Essential readings for understanding the world of radiation, radioactive materials, and the threats they pose to human health

This glossary is intended to help advocates navigate the technical language of nuclear weapons and, specifically, radiation and human health outcomes.

Radiation is absorbed by humans in many ways, and can harm the human body in the short and long term.

Radiation is associated with a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including acute radiation sickness, burns, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or even death.

Human-made sources of radiation have increased since the 1940s in the environments people live in and near.

Radioactive materials are elements that spontaneously break apart, or “decay,” into lighter elements over time. Radiation is energy that’s released during that process—and it’s can be dangerous.

This guide is a resource to help protect us from cumulative impacts of pollution—especially in disproportionately impacted and overburdened communities.

Congress has let the once-every-five years food and farm bill expire—but the 332 million people in the US still need to eat.
