SOSIALISASI BAHAYA RADIASI BAGI ANAK-ANAK DI RUMAH PINTAR DESA MOJO, KECAMATAN BRINGIN, KABUPATEN NGAWI

Abstract

The rapid development of modern technology has increased children’s exposure to various sources of radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing, such as radiation from electronic devices, wireless networks, and sunlight. This condition highlights the importance of early educational efforts to improve children’s awareness and understanding of radiation hazards and safe behavior. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and awareness of elementary and junior high school students who attend tutoring activities at Rumah Pintar, Mojo Village, Bringin District, Ngawi Regency, regarding the basic concept of radiation, its potential health impacts, and preventive measures. The activities were conducted through interactive socialization methods, including visual presentations, discussions, and age-appropriate educational games. The results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of radiation sources and the importance of safe habits, such as limiting screen time and maintaining a safe distance from electronic devices. This program is expected to serve as a preventive effort in fostering health awareness and responsible technology use among children in the digital era.
