Radiation can pose various risks to human health depending on the type of radiation, the dose received, and the duration of exposure. Here are some of the potential risks associated with radiation: Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS): High doses of radiation received over a short period can cause ARS, which can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin burns, and even death. Long-term Health Effects: Prolonged exposure to radiation, particularly at high doses, increases the risk of developing long-term health effects such as cancer. Radiation-induced cancers may develop years or even decades after exposure.
