Given what we know, we can confirm that doubling the distance between you and a source of radiation decreases your exposure by 75%.

How is distance related to radiation exposure?

  • As expected, increasing the distance from the source of the radiation will reduce its negative effects.
  • Counter-intuitively however, doubling the distance does not reduce by half, but rather reduces its effects by 3/4th.
  • This is due to the fact that the radiation effects from the source are inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
  • This causes the changes to be far greater than expected.

Therefore, given that the radiation is proportional to the square of the distance, instead of being of a more direct relation, we can confirm that when doubling the distance between yourself and the source of the radiation, you can reduce its effects by 3/4 or 75%.
