- Exposure to large doses of radiation is very dangerous.
- Radiation causes ionisations in the molecules of living cells to cause damage.
- At the low doses of radiation, the cells can repair rapidly.
- If the dose is higher, the cells may be dying or changed permanently.
- Somatic effects appear in the person exposed to radiation.
- The seriousness of the effect depends on the dose of radiation received.
- Genetic effects appear in the future generations of the exposed person as a result of radiation damage to reproductive cells.
