Ionizing radiation, a major hazard
Radiation protection, usually known as radiological protection, is defined as the protection from the damaging effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the means to achieve this. Exposure can be due to a radiation source which is external to the human body, or because of the intake of radioactive materials into the body. The ionizing radiation has various uses in industries and medicine, and it can present a substantial health hazard. It causes microscopic damage to the live tissue, which results in radiation sickness and skin burns at high exposures, and elevated risks of cancer at low exposures.
