Ionizing radiation is like cupcakes.One cupcake, that's fine.1000 cupcakes, all at once?Not fine!You’ve probably seen acute radiation poisoning on TV, people wrapped in bandages, and such…but chances are you don’t know what’s going on there… so let’s shed some visiblelight radiation on this mystery.There are a few kinds of radiation.Some is light or heat, but the kind that damages tissue is called ionizing radiation.Ionizing radiation comes in high-energy waves like x-rays and gamma rays, or from nuclearmaterial via particle decay.This kind of radiation can damage atoms, which can affect whole molecules (like DNA), andthat can affect your cells, organs and whole body.For example: your cells are comprised of water, H2O; which, if broken apart by r...
