Gamma rays are more dangerous than other forms of radiation because they have the highest frequency and energy, allowing them to penetrate deeply into tissues and cause damage at a cellular level. Their ability to ionize atoms and break chemical bonds in DNA can lead to mutations, cell death, and an increased risk of cancer. Additionally, gamma rays are difficult to shield against, increasing the risk of exposure.
