This is a really good site post, im delighted I came across it. I’ll be back down the track to check out other posts that
It’s really sensitive topic to talk with children.So we must have suitable way to communicate this issue.I think education in school will help us solve this problem

I have read this article though have a different slant on the original story. Though the term Health Physicist “was” probably confusing I hardly believe this was a created intention. It is plausible it became the by-product. You have to take into account the times they were in, during Manhattan Project days — this was a brand new field of study and the notion that radiation was even dangerous, was in its infancy. The original pioneering physicist recognized the need for this type of health professional, as they started to understand the effects of unprotected exposure to certain radiation levels. Thus this new career was born. They were not sophisticated enough at the time to just be using this as a cover or counter-intelligence item. Put another way, “everyone” was confused at this time, no one needed “extra confusion.”

Now the last paragraph, this is fascinating. The astronomy angle is fabulous. What is also neat is how we are “still” learning more about radiation effects every day. During the Manhattan Project people assumed radiation to be bad, bad, and more bad. Now, they know that this fall out, including at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there were equal amounts of amazing health benefits, including lower incidents of cancer and expanded lifespan. I am certain that radiation may be key to travel, medicine, longevity, mind-expansion, etc. Keep these posts coming, you have a large audience with us. It happens to right now be one of the “favorites” on our site.

I came here by way of a portion of our website that has started to use this site as their primary EPA information and have many links into these articles and trackbacks. Interestingly I am not seeing one such link or comment posted here. Perhaps someone removed them as well. I am an employee of Trip Articles.com, and find it difficult to impossible to believe anything was said to get the comments banned as they are so serious about these issues. Anyone with knowledge of the commenting policy let us know. If our company violated protocol we will eliminate this information and articles from our website immediately. We have emailed EPA upper management though they are silent. Please Note: Editor, you may wish to delete just this last paragraph, if issue is resolved, as to reduce unnecessary “noise” on the post comments. Sincerely, Norma R.Vice President of Trip Articles,Inc.

I have heard of another explanation for naming it Health Physics….some guy with the initials HP was instrumental in the development of the field and it was thought up in his honor. I want to say that his name was something like Harry Parker but haven’t found out anything on the internet that alludes to him.

Wow! I am a personal trainer too, in Canberra Australia.
The thought of trying to do fitness training without gravity kind of boggles my mind. Hard to do weights without weight!!??

Great post!
I want to give add one more thing that “AntiGravity Yoga”. AntiGravity Yoga is a fitness regime designed to increase one’s overall health and physical agility while having fun and creating beauty. It acts like a swing or soft trapeze. The AntiGravity Hammock is utilized to change one’s dynamic relationship to the ground, allowing the participant to better understand their body and its relationship to physics.

As someone who has worked in the health physics field for almost 2 decades now, I can honestly say our work is largely misunderstood, and the hardest battle is definitely explaining things to the public for sure…

Radiation is something we need to continue to have life on earth. But what is a concern is man made radiation that could come from things like leaks at nuclear power plants, storm runoff from uranium miles, and leaks from nuclear fuel rod manufacturing or disposing. The man made radiation can cause changes in genes and could cause different forms of cancer. So it must be controlled. I am glad EPA is on top of this. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

I smiled when I saw this blog. My father was a health physicist for many years. He retired in the early 1990s.
