The important effect is that it induces DNA damage. This can be beneficial when treating cancer with radiation therapy, but radiation therapy is carcinogenic in itself.
Gamma rays have the ability to penetrate deeply into materials, making them useful in medical imaging and cancer treatment. However, excessive exposure to gamma rays can be harmful, causing damage to cells and DNA, leading to radiation sickness and an increased risk of cancer. Protection measures must be implemented to minimize exposure to gamma rays in order to reap their benefits while avoiding their harmful effects.
Good: Gamma rays have many beneficial applications, such as in medical imaging (e.g. PET scans), radiation therapy for cancer treatment, and sterilization of medical equipment. They are also used in scientific research and industrial processes. Bad: Gamma rays are highly penetrating and can be harmful to living organisms, causing damage to cells and tissues, leading to radiation sickness and long-term health effects. Exposure to high levels of gamma radiation can be lethal.
Gamma rays can cause cellular damage by breaking apart molecules within the body, leading to potential DNA damage and an increased risk of cancer. Exposure to high levels of gamma rays can also result in radiation sickness, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, organ failure.
Gamma rays are very energetic forms of electromagnetic radiation, so when they collide with some molecule in the body, the molecule will be damaged or destroyed. Some molecules are more important than others, but there are some which can potentially cause a lot of trouble if they are damaged, particularly genetic material, which may be altered into a form that leads to cancer.
Orign of Gamma RaysGamma rays are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic Radiation is VERY basically energy travelling in waves. One source of electromagnetic radiation is our sun. The reason why Gamma Rays do not hit the earth, is because the earth is protected by an MAGNETIC field. The Earth's core is Iron, and Iron is magnetic, so this field sheilds us from the harmful radiation, and is one of the reasons why life exists on the earth today. Light is also radiation, so it's important to note that not all radiation is actually bad for living Organisms. Gamma rays are sometimes used in Medical treatment to kill of cancer cells, (Chemotherapy.)Also another source of Gamma Rays are unstable elements of the periodic table that give off Electromagnetic Radiation.... such as Uranium,Plutonium and so on.
The correct way to say it is gamma rays. And they can be dangerous in some situations. Large amounts flowing uncontained can be dangerous. Usually they will start of by affecting someone internally (inside the body). But soon, if it is a large amount, it can get very bad to the point of peeling your skin, or destroying your organs.
Electromagnetic waves can cause health hazards like cancer and genetic mutations with long-term exposure. They can also interfere with electronic devices and sensitive equipment. Additionally, some electromagnetic waves, such as ultraviolet and X-rays, can cause harm to living tissues.
bad music
Doctors have some machines to make a gamma ray for people who have cancer to kill those bad cells.
Gamma radiation is deadly because it causes cancer. But it be used to kill cancerous cells as well. So, gamma is bad, but has it's useful properties too!
tarrisoum is a bad effect
Gamma radiation can cause serious problems to the body. If you come in contact with high levels of radiation it can cause serious illness and death. Possible symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fever, dizziness and disorientation, weakness, fatigue, hair loss, bloody vomit and stools, infections, poor wound healing and low blood pressure.
