EN 1073-2 Standard Test for Protective Clothing Against Radioactive Pollution

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1073-2 standard. Radioactive material risks spreading to other objects unless it is in a tightly welded closed container.

EN 1073-2 Standard Test for Protective Clothing Against Radioactive Pollution

Contamination occurs when any material containing radioactive atoms is touched or left on skin, clothing, or any other undesirable part. In fact, it is radioactive pollution that is emitted. A person contaminated with radioactive material is exposed to radiation until the radiation source, that is, the radioactive material, is removed.

If the radioactive material is on the skin or clothing, the person is contaminated from the outside. When the radioactive substance is inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed from the wound on the skin, it becomes internally contaminated. If the radioactive material spreads or is released, the medium becomes contaminated.

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels in space and can collect various materials in its path. Light, radio and microwaves are nonionized radiation types. However, the radiation involved here is ionizing radiation. Because it produces charged particles (ions) in matter. Ionizing radiation is produced by high voltage devices such as unstable atoms or x-ray machines.

Unstable nuclear atoms emit excess energy to achieve stability. These emissions are called radiation. Radiation is of two types: either electromagnetic like x-rays and gamma radiation, or particulate like alpha and beta particles.

Since the discovery of radiation and radioactivity, radiation protection awareness and standards have been developing. High doses of ionizing radiation are dangerous for human health. The effects of the low dose have scientific uncertainties.
