The film also examines methods for reducing exposures to radiation in workplaces. Educational concepts include ionizing radiation, radiation sickness, radiation burns, other health effects, ion pairs, free radicals, penetration versus interaction, and time/distance/shielding.

The site is not an exhaustive learning tool. Its aim is limited to arouse interest and excite curiosity in occasional readers. All the chemical contents have been written by University teachers and researchers, all deeply expert in the specific topic addressed. Each page is written using an extremely plain language in Italian and in English, because it has been developed in Italy but it is addressed to an international audience.
