Radiation delivers lethal damage to cells in the body by destroying DNA and dissociating proteins along with other biochemical substances within those cells. It kills on the cellular level, and there is no medical intervention for extremely high doses of radiation. The damage is done in seconds, and a period of evolving tissue death follows lasting weeks or even just days.
The ozone layer protects us from the radiation of sun. This radiation is called ultraviolet radiation and is very harmful.
Radiation can have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on the immune system. In high doses, radiation can damage or kill immune cells, leading to immune suppression. However, at lower doses, radiation can actually stimulate the immune response by promoting the release of immune-stimulating molecules and activating immune cells. The overall impact on immune function depends on the dose, duration, and tissues/organs exposed to radiation.
Radiation treatments use high-energy beams to target and kill cancer cells. The goal is to damage the DNA of the cancer cells to prevent them from growing and spreading. Radiation therapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.
Advantages: Increased protection against solar radiation for satellites and astronauts. Potential for studying the impact of radiation on technology and human health. Disadvantages: Risk of interference with communication and navigation systems. Increased space debris from the collision, posing a hazard to other satellites and spacecraft.
Nuclear radiation is one invisible killer.
Heat from impact, and radiation poisioning and radioactive contamination.
Yes, an overdosage of Radiation can kill you.
Chemo radiation kill cancer cells.
no
yes
No
What can radiation do to us?
It depends... Radiation can kill a man easily, but to form a hand held "ray" that emits enough radiation to kill? No.
Chemothrapy and radiation
Yes. It is extremely hazardous.
to kill cells in an an organ
Ultraviolet radiation can kill some microorganisms and has a role in the vitamin A synthesis.
