I think in order to answer this question, we may basically understand the very basics of Radiation:

Basically radiation consists of several types of subatomic particles, principally those called gamma rays, neutrons, electrons and alpha particles. That shoot through space at a very high speeds (something like 100,000 miles per second). They can easily penetrate deeply inside the human body damaging some of the biological cells (DNA, for example) which the body is composed.

This damaging can cause a fatal cancer to develop. In case it reaches the reproductive cells, it can cause genetic defects in later generations of offspring.

Answering to your question, this is dangerous and can cause several troubles to one's health (such as cancer and other fatal mutations).

Does carbon monoxide have a link to leukemia?

There is not a direct link between carbon monoxide exposure and leukemia. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems and neurological effects. Leukemia is mainly caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, and exposure to certain chemicals like benzene.

What animal gives trench foot?

Trench foot is a medical condition that results from prolonged exposure to damp and unsanitary conditions, typically in trenches. It is not caused by an animal, but rather by prolonged exposure to wet and unsanitary environments.


Why did Marie currie die?

She died from anemia, a condition that can be caused by exposure to radioactivity. Although it is impossible to say with absolute certainty that her work with radioactive elements caused the death, the connection is pretty strong.
