the penetration depth of a radiated particle depends on both its mass and its kinetic energy. The higher the depth of penetration, the more likely it is to cause damage to internal organs and the smaller the depth the less likely it is to do so. It is more likely to harm surface cells such as skin cells or hair cells if its penetration depth is small.
Malnutrition refers to getting too little or too much of certain nutrients. It can lead to serious health issues, including stunted growth, eye problems, diabetes and heart disease.
