Look around. Can you see any radiation?
Yes, of course, there's the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible range, but what of ionizing radiation? We are talking about Alpha and Beta Particles, as well as Gamma Rays. This is the sort of radiation that can, with enough exposure, bombard and knock out nucleotides in DNA. These collisions within living tissue may cause irreparable damage and result in radiation poisoning, cancers, or mutations. This ionizing radiation cannot be seen, and to detect these hidden powers of the universe we require special instrumentation.
Joe DeGeorge so happens to be a "Guy With Geiger Counter." A Geiger-Mueller device, sometimes known as a Geiger counter can be used to measure ionizing radiation. This Guy With Geiger Counter is available for house calls, birthday parties, weddings, housewarmings, and other rituals and ceremonies.
"I obtained my first Geiger-counter to help my sister, who was undergoing a radioactive iodine treatment," says Joe DeGeorge. "She had radioactive iodine in her system for weeks and it was immensely helpful to have a tool that could tell us accurately and in realtime the amount of radiation being emmitted from my sister. She had a two year old at the time and we needed to know when it would be safe for the child to spend prolonged time in close proximity to her mother."
Maybe you need to know the radioactivity of a loved one as described in the above scenario, or maybe you would like to measure the background radiation of your abode, or commemorate a special life event or sacrement with a radiation reading. Whatever your motives are for measuring radiation, Guy With Geiger Counter is here for you.To make an appointment, just call the Guy With Geiger Counter, Joe, at 781.801.8521.
The Guy With Geiger Counter also maintains a small and curious Atomic Library. Contact Joe to make a donation of any Atomic Age ephermera to the Guy With Geiger Counter Atomic Library.
