Cobalt 60 is a radioisotope of metallic cobalt. The Latin name cobaltum of cobalt comes from the German kobalt (kobold), which means "underground demon". Cobalt 60 is extremely radiant and can cause hair loss. It can seriously damage the cells and tissues in the human blood, cause leukopenia, and cause blood system diseases such as aplastic anemia, which can cause leukemia (blood cancer). ,even death.
On the other hand, as an essential trace element of the body, cobalt has an important physiological role. It is a component of vitamin B12, a component of certain enzymes or an auxiliary factor of catalytic activity, has the effect of stimulating hematopoiesis, and has a certain influence on the metabolism of certain trace elements. Studies have shown that cobalt participates in the metabolism of ribonucleic acid and hematopoietic related substances through vitamin B12 and acts on the hematopoietic process. Cobalt deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia, dementia, acute spinal cord degeneration and peripheral neuropathy.
Cobalt 60 can replace X-rays and radium to check the internal structure of the object and treat cancer, detect cracks and foreign objects inside the object, and can also be used in machinery, chemical industry, metallurgy, etc.
Relevant data show that a batch of experimental small-scale cobalt sources were built in China from the 1950s to the 1970s for scientific research and radiation processing. There are currently hundreds of irradiation processing devices in 47 countries around the world. It is understood that there are currently six categories of nearly 100 varieties of foods approved by the state for radiation, including special foods, such as sterile foods for patients; dehydrated foods, such as onion powder, star anise powder, shrimp powder, chili powder, garlic powder Etc .; foods with extended shelf life, such as moon cakes, bagged meat products, preserved fruits, garlic, apples, potatoes, lychees, instant noodles, etc .; in addition, there are a large number of frozen foods and health products.
"Irradiation technology is widely used in the fields of medical equipment sterilization, chemical material modification, food preservation and storage, insecticide and mildew prevention, and scientific research. Now domestic and foreign use of cobalt 60 radiation irradiation for food processing is a very common method. The use of radioactivity Irradiation of elements actually only plays a role in sterilization and disinfection. At present, many foods are preserved by radiation. For example, apples can be sterilized and preserved after irradiation, and garlic can destroy their germs and be preserved after irradiation. Longer time. It should be said that the food processed by irradiation is safe. "Yi Facheng told reporters that the Ministry of Health promulgated the" Hygiene Management Methods for Irradiated Food "in 1996. According to food is safe, consumers can eat with confidence. The state requires that food that has been exposed to radiation be clearly marked.
