The College of Education for Pure Sciences organizes a training course on improving the radiation training properties of composite polymers.
The Physics Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Improving the Radiation Training Properties of Composite Polymers.”
The course was presented by Professor Dr. Abbas Jawad, Lecturer Dr. Haider Jassim, and Professor Dr. Ali Hussein Abdul-Razzaq.
This course aimed to raise awareness about radiation, promote the safe use of modern radiation technologies, and support scientific research in the field of radiation shielding and its medical applications.
The course covered several topics, including the concept of radiation training and its importance in protecting humans and the environment; the study of the properties of composite polymers and their role in improving radiation shielding efficiency; an explanation of the types of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and their biological effects; and mechanisms for the safe use of gamma rays in the medical field, particularly in treating cancerous tumors such as brain and eye tumors, while outlining the scientific principles that ensure therapeutic benefit and minimize potential risks.
The researchers recommended focusing on such topics to promote scientific research related to the development of effective and safe radiation shielding materials.
They also stressed the importance of adhering to strict radiation safety standards in laboratories and medical centers.
