Do radioisotopes have harmful effects

Answer 1

yes. If radionuclides are released into the environment, through accident, poor disposal, or other means, they can potentially cause harmful effects of radioactive contamination. They can also cause damage if they are excessively used during treatment or in other ways applied to living beings. This is called radiation poisoning. Radionuclides can also cause malfunction of electrical devices.

Answer 2

Radioisotopes can have harmful effects if not handled properly, as they emit radiation that can damage cells and tissues in the body. Exposure to high levels of radiation from radioisotopes can increase the risk of cancer and other health problems. It is important to follow safety procedures and guidelines when working with radioisotopes to minimize potential harm.
