What damage does radiation do?

Radiation exposure causes damage to the cells of your body, which can mutate them. Mutated cells are sometimes referred to as cancer cells, and thus radiation can give you cancer. There are different effects from different kinds of radiation, but mutating cells is the basic form of damage that radiation does.


What is the lethal dose of radiation in grays and how many grays of radiation are considered lethal?

The lethal dose of radiation is typically around 4 to 6 grays. This amount of radiation is considered to be lethal and can cause severe damage to the body's cells and tissues.


How do x rays and gamma rays damage people?

X-rays and gamma rays can damage people through an ionizing effect, where they can penetrate the body and damage cells by breaking chemical bonds in molecules, leading to potential mutations and cell death. This can result in radiation sickness, cancer, and other health effects depending on the dose and duration of exposure.


What factors determine the extent of radiation damage?

The factors that determine the extent of radiation damage include the type of radiation, the dose received, the duration of exposure, the sensitivity of the tissues or organs affected, and the body's ability to repair damage. Additionally, factors such as the type of cells in the affected area and individual genetic variations can also influence the extent of radiation damage.


How does Ionising Radiation affect the body?

Ionizing radiation can damage cells by breaking chemical bonds in molecules, disrupting cell function, and potentially causing mutations in DNA. This damage can lead to health effects such as increased cancer risk, radiation sickness, and genetic mutations. The extent of harm depends on the dose of radiation and the duration of exposure.
