What damage does radiation do?
Radiation exposure causes damage to the cells of your body, which can mutate them. Mutated cells are sometimes referred to as cancer cells, and thus radiation can give you cancer. There are different effects from different kinds of radiation, but mutating cells is the basic form of damage that radiation does.
What are the hazards of infrared?
The known health effects of infrared radiation include blindness and other damage to the eyes.
What damage can a nuclear weapon do?
The effects of nuclear weapons break down into: 1- Thermal (heat damage) 2- Blast damage (shock wave) 3- Residual radiation & fall out.
What factors determine the extent of radiation damage?
The amount of exposure (measured in rads or rems), the duration of exposure, and the type of radiation you are exposted to determine the extent of the damage.

Harmfull effects of cobolt -60?
Cobalt-60 usually emits beta radiation, though it is associated with a smaller amount of gamma radiation. If it is ingested in sufficient quantity it can contribute to radiation poisoning, and this can lead to cancer, tumors, and genetic damage.
Why is radiation sickness so dangous?
We need to be prepared for anything including nuclear radiation, plutonium and other poisons entering our environment wherever we are. Radiation effects include cancer, genetic and DNA damage, reproductive damage, hormonal damage, and thyroid damange (that's why they want you to take potassium iodine, another dangerous toxin) but I wouldn't. There is a much safer substance (nascent iodine).
