Radioactive Contamination
Radioactive contamination is the phenomenon occurring when a radioactive product is deposited on an object or on a being (human or animal) or is ingested or inhaled. contamination (undesirable presence at a significant level) is therefore distinguished from irradiation (event during which food, a human being or an animal is subjected to ionizing radiation). Contamination can spread through the food chain. A being becomes contaminated when it ingests a contaminated animal or plant. Radioactive isotopes can concentrate in certain organs such as bones and the thyroid, which can promote the appearance of cancers. Contamination by high dose irradiation causes DNA damage, leading to breaks in the double helix as well as alterations at the level of the nitrogen bases.
