Vegetative Protection Exposure: Over a large area of the United States, man's carelessness has so destroyed the natural balance that formerly existed in each river system between vegetative protection exposure protection and exposure of fertile, soluble topsoils as to impair, through erosion, the productivity of millions of acres of agricultural land. In some places he has permitted streams of pure, wholesome water to be converted to conduits of sewage and industrial filth.
Instruments for Personnel Protection.—In order to provide maximum protection to personnel from the hazards of excessive nuclear radiation, three types of monitoring procedures are used in regions where exposure is likely; these include area monitoring, survey monitoring, and personnel monitoring.
The use of a condom provides a high degree of protection for the uninfected partner and a dose of oral penicillin within 2 or 3 hours after exposure markedly decreases the chances of infection. All contacts of patients with gonorrhea should be identified and treated as quickly as possible to prevent a further spread of the disease.
