Why radiation is dangerous?
Radiation, which comes in a couple of harmful forms, can be either electromagnetic or particulate. The dangerous electromagnetic radiation includes X-rays and the more potent gamma rays. Particulate radiation takes a number of forms which include alpha, beta, proton and neutron radiation. All these forms of radiation are what are called ionizing radiation. The ability of this radiation to penetrate varies, but the energies carried by ionizing radiation can damage genetic material within cells. This can result in cellular damage, mutation or even the death of the cell. Biologic material is seriously threatened by these types of radiation, and exposure should be minimized if not completely eliminated.
How does radiation damage human tissue?
Radiation exposure occurs from medical equipment, ultraviolet radiation from the sun and small but steady radiation from cell phones, microwaves and electrical towers. It damages human tissue by leaving the cells unstable, which can lead to cancer.
How are organs affected by radiation?
Simply put, radiation breaks chemical bonds, and this results in tissue damage. Broken bonds in the biochemical structures of cells can be repaired if they are not severe, but if chromosomes are damaged by the dissociation of the chemical bonds that hold them together, the cell can die. Radiation can also cause mutation. Lots of radiation can do lots of cellular damage, and can kill lots of cells, as you could have guessed. Additionally, the "messing up" of the DNA of a cell can trigger carcinoma, and cancer as a result of radiation exposure is entirely possible.
How does radiation kill a man?
Additional info (Razor512): radioactive particles damage internal structures of cells, while in most cases the cell will just die, but if radiation hits a cell while it is dividing then it will damage the genetic info in the cell and you can either end up with a non functioning cell which dies, or a cancer cell that does the wrong thing and makes you very sick. If you look at cases such as the Chernobyl disaster, you will see cases of people having their skin fall off due to the damage caused by radioactive particles. radiation destroys pretty much any type of biological cell and enough of it will dissolve skin and bone (and a high enough output can even eat away at metal).
Does phone really have radiation that is harmful to humans?
Cell phones do emit a type of non-ionizing radiation.
Which of the following cell types are at least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
Which of the following cell types are least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
cells that divide slowly
Cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
What types of cells are most sensitive to radiation damage?
The ones with the shortest (normal) lifespans - like skin & the lining of the gut.
Are cells that divide rapidly more sensitive to radiation?
No, they are just as sensitive as any other cell.
Why does electromagnetic radiation cause cellular damage to humans?
The most common exposure to electromagnetic radiation is from the use of cell phones. It is a minor almost minute exposure. Why it can damage the cell structure of humans is because it is toxic it is simply because it is radiation.
How do you prevent brain damage from cell phone?
Don't hit your head with it. There is no definitive evidence that the radiation from cell 'phones cause brain damage.
Why would a fetus be more sensitive to radiation?
Because it is in the beginning stages of development.Answer:There are several factors and logical consequences at work:Radiation has its greatest impact on cells when they are dividing and multiplying.Fetal cell division is happening rapidly.Radiation has more opportunities to interact with the division (cause damage) because cell division is occurring rapidly.Since a cell damaged early in the development has several subsequent cell generations present, the damage can be cumulative with more damage occrring

Why are cell phones good for you?
Radio waves from cell phones can lead to brain cancer so yes
