Gamma leaves the body quickly so minimizes damage to tissue and can be detected using scintillation devices.

<h3>What is the effect of gamma rays on tissue?</h3>

Gamma rays can completely permeate the human body and cause ionizations that can damage DNA and tissue.

The most hazardous methods of exposure to radioactive elements that release alpha and beta particles are ingestion, inhalation, absorption, and injection. The most damaging external threat is gamma radiation. "Beta burns" can result from beta particles partially penetrating skin.

<h3>How do gamma rays destroys cell?</h3>

They produce indiscriminate chemical reactions due to their extremely high degrees of chemical reactivity. The several molecules that make up the cell are damaged as a result of radiation and the battered electrons' chaotic movement inside the cell. Additionally, chromosomal DNA within the cell nucleus may sustain damage.
