Explain why ionizing radiation is dangerous?​

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

When the dose is high enough, ionizing radiation causes two types of harm to humans: direct tissue damage and cancer. Direct tissue damage happens when enough molecules are broken apart that the cells simply can no longer function. This can lead to radiation burns, radiation sickness, organ failure, and even death.
