'Onions, cow dung reduce radiation impact'


ALLAHABAD: The threat of nulcear radiation in Japan has raised widespread concerns across the world.


India too, which has many nuclear plants, needs to be worried, specially for its population living near the nuke plants.
TOI spoke to associate professor in physics department, KN Uttam, about the nuclear radiation and ways to prevent it. He said some traditional Indian practices can help in minimising the effects of Gamma rays, the most harmful rays emitted in nuclear radiation.


"Traditional methods like keeping onions in pockets and applying a layer of Cow Dung on the outside walls of houses absorb the harmful gamma rays," Uttam said. "Cow dung, in fact, can absorb all the three rays -- alpha, beta and gamma. Among these, alpha rays cannot penetrate the layers of cloths whereas beta falls after hitting the same but the Gamma rays penetrate the body tissue and is the most harmful," he added. If the outer walls of houses are coated with thick layers of cow dung, it will absorb the gamma rays and in turn people would be safe, said Uttam who has worked in the ministry of science and technology and MHRD.

Mr. sekhar,
I would be ashamed to post anything from "world Malayali club". The have no scientific proof of any thing they say. On the other hand they embarrass us with their claims.
