Overview

Over the past century, very few topics have had the potential to attract public attention, as has radiation. Our perceptions of it have shaped policy in arenas as diverse as medical care, energy, and international relations. The love affair with radiation has been a moth and flame one, as revealed by certain radiation related events. Despite the rocky affair, we have either adored or despised it, depending on the morning headlines.


The media has played a significant role in adding glamour and glory to radiation. The public can't be blamed for embracing the new rays, as headlines like this appeared in newspapers across the globe - “Something about X-Rays for Everybody”. Following the discovery of X-rays, it became omnipresent. It became so common that city streets began to house fluoroscopes that were easily operable with coins. Particularly popular were exhibitions where subjects underwent fluoroscopy for hours to amaze the customers. At that time publicity about the cosmetic benefits of X-ray radiation was at an all time high, influencing many women to go for it. This insatiable quest of women for beauty resulted in massive radiation burns in thousands of women.
