Does this detect alpha radiation. Alpha is the most dangerous if ingested so I think it is important to detect alpha.

No. The device doesn't detect Alpha radiation. Alpha has very short waves and can not penetrate skin or thin layer of air. However, if there is Alpha radiation there would be Beta or Gamma one as well. It's almost impossible in a real life to find Alpha radiation alone. intelGadgets.com

How did you research? Where did you obtain proof? I asked the seller for info & they couldn't provide me with any proof in English that this doesn't come from an area affected by the radiation.

No, it doesn't. But why would it need to? This is an absolutely 100% pure product - there is no lead and the FDA recognizes it as safe for consumption.

The Radiation Detector "Soeks" is designed for assessing the radioactivity level of any item and detecting objects, food items and construction materials contaminated with radioactive elements. It easily gauges radioactivity levels based on ion radiation intensity (gamma radiation and beta particle stream) and x-ray radiation levels. - See more at: http://www.soeks-usa.com/product/radiation-detector-soeks-01m/#sthash.mkSH30NF.dpuf

That would depend upon which type of radiation you are referring to. This does measure electrical radiation, such as power lines and so forth. As to nuclear radiation, I don't know. If you have it near a power station it starts to go crazy. If I walk down the street where I live I get a few readings, then when I turn a corner where there are a lot of electrical power lines, TV antennas it goes nuts.

Jeremy, tens of thousands of these units were sold in Japan and are continued to be sold today. So, yes, it can be used to detect radiation in Japan.

yes, it will detect radiation from x-rays. also, it will detect radiation from construction site those soil compact tester (yellow box).

No it is not a spectrophotometer . It is a crudely simple radiation counter. It is mainly gamma rays sensitive. The most interesting usage I had from it was from taking it up in a commercial jet on a holiday and watching the radiation levels soar to about 20 times what it was in my kitchen. (This is well-known but still interesting to see oneself.) I have also detected beaches that were radioactive with natural thorium but it has to be laid on the sand to work. It's a bit crude and it is worth knowing the basics of radiation counting before you use it, for example what a sievert and or micro-sievert is.

Sorry, I cannot answer your question with certainty as I have not gone through a metal detector at airport. That said, here is what I believe:(1) The amount of aluminum in one sleeve is so small I find it hard to believe it will trigger a metal detector(2) The sleeve will definitely show up as a suspecious item on a full body scanner used at most larhe US airports. If your sleeve is in a neck pouch or purse, it is recommended to let it go through the X-ray scanner( the moving belt ) instead of carry it with you through the body scanner. You can put your neck pouch back on your body once you have clear security checkpoint.Hope this help.

i can only answer the last question. buy an expensive radiation detector. i don't recommend the radex rd1503!

I can't answer that, but you might try Dr. Group's website: globalhealingcenter.com. Also, take a look at the Nascent Iodine (atomic) on Amazon.....look at what it says about ingredients. I share your concern about the Fukushima radiation. It's a lot worse that the US corporate media are trying to make everyone believe. Talk about criminal negligence.............

I don't think so. For one thing the radiation administered is very low & short acting, second, the Radex is designed to detect gamma & beta radiation as per the manual that should have come with your unit.It will measure in both micro sieverts/h or sv/h & micro rems/Rem/h of radiation. While the dose is high enough to affect the cancer into which it's injected, it's not high enough to affect adjacent normal cells as it only penetrates about 11 mm.

It does produce harmful radiation. Wearing a tin foil night cap will prevent radiation burns, and protect you from government mind scanners.

I'm not sure, I've heard of idiots placing them in microwave ovens with mixed results. If I see the middle bar begin to glow, I'm seeking shelter. Though the gamma rays are supposedly most damaging for your body; if my minimal, public school faulty memory is correct. I would be concerned of ANY excess of ANY of those particles. Stay safe, be prepared.

If true that this uses bromate, bromates are proven to disturb the thryoid gland. Not good if this is true.

I asked what made it glow,was it safe for dogs and humans, in the past radioactive thorium was used on the dials of instruments to make them glow, not safe! My question was removed!?

http://www.haz-map.com/leadfact.htm. I am not the manufacturer but what I can tell you is that normal glass usually does not contain lead. If I had to worry about anything these days I would be worried about Fukashima radiation.
