The exact percentage of opiate overdoses that result in death can vary, but it is estimated that around 10-30% of opioid overdoses lead to fatalities. The risk factors influencing this outcome include the type and dosage of the opioid, the presence of other substances, and the individual's health status. The rise of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, has significantly increased the lethality of overdoses in recent years. Overall, the opioid crisis remains a major public health concern.

Why can radiation be dangerous?

Radiation causes damage to the cells of the body through ionisation, and this can result in rapid body failure for massive overdoses, to cancers developing years later for smaller overdoses. All organisations using nuclear radiation must have trained health physics staff working to ensure nobody gets overdosed in normal working. It can also travel through many substances like water, oxygen, basically when it gets loose it is highly deadly within a certain distance.
