Dangers of alpha radiation

Answer 1

The dangers of beta radiation are that it can penetrate skin to the germinal layer which is where new skin cells are produced and if the beta emitting contaminants are allowed to remain on the skin for too long they can cause skin injuries.

It can cause cancer

Answer 2

Alpha radiation can be harmful when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, as it can damage living cells and tissues. Prolonged exposure to alpha radiation can increase the risk of developing cancer, particularly lung cancer. It is important to limit exposure to alpha radiation by using proper protective measures when working with alpha-emitting materials.

Answer 3

Beta radiation can penetrate human skin to the "germinal layer," where new skin cells are produced. If beta-emitting contaminants are allowed to remain on the skin for too long they can cause skin injuries.

Answer 4

alpha radiation contain alpha particle which has a mass equal to helium nuclius and velocity about one tenth of velocity of light so they are penetrating rays in human body and may cause cancer..

(If you swallow A particles they cause serious damage because they ionise DNA.)

etc;

Answer 5

many people might think that gamma rays aren't dangerous well the can cause cancer as well as kill some healthy cells.

Answer 6

It can kill you,

but its easy to shield ... a thin layer of foil will block it completely.

Answer 7

Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into the human body. Ionization occurs in the first few layers of skin cells and would almost never penetrate clothing.

Answer 8

well to start with, beta burns. often look similar to sunburn but usually localized and they usually go through all layers instead of stopping in first couple like a sunburn would.

Answer 9

It causes horrible burns and can cause cancer but has shorter range than gamma or beta.

Answer 10

Alpha radiation has a very low aptitude to penetrate but having a great energy can destroy cells of the organisms.
