Gamma rays pose significant health risks primarily due to their high energy and penetrating ability. Exposure can damage living tissues and DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and other serious health issues. Additionally, high doses can cause acute radiation sickness, leading to symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and even death. Effective shielding and safety protocols are essential to mitigate these risks in environments where gamma radiation is present.
