Gamma decay: This is the release of gamma radiation from natural radioisotopes. Usually, gamma decay follows alpha or beta decay where the daughter nucleus is excited and falls to a lower energy level with the emission of a gamma radiation photon. However, gamma decay also results fromnuclear f...
Non-ionizing radiation is much less harmful to living organisms than ionizing radiation. The breaking of molecular bonds produced by ionizing radiation can cause damage to DNA, leading to diseases such as cancer. Gamma radiation, the most powerful type of ionizing radiation, is released in high qu...

However, other types of ionizing radiation--x-rays, ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and alpha, beta, and gamma radiation emitted by radioactive isotopes--have the potential to harm the human body. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove one or more electrons from the atoms it hits ...
Ionizing radiation, which is caused by unstable atoms giving off energy to reach a more stable state, is more of a health threat to humans because it involves changing the basic makeup of atoms in cells, and more specifically the DNA molecules inside of cells. It does, of course, take a...
The mutant mouse lymphoma cell M10, which is sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate and ionizing radiation, was compared with the parental L5178Y cells for mutation induction after γ-irradiation. The rate of induced mutations to 6-thioganine resistance in L5178Y cells was 23 x 10 7 per R, as ...
There are several types of particles or waves that may shoot out of a radioactive nucleus. Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons are the most common forms of ionizing (i.e. dangerous) radiation. Alpha Particles Namedalphabecause they were the first to be discovered, these...

Ionizing radiation:includes high-energy radiation like x-rays and gamma rays. This type of radiation is commonly known to be very dangerous even in small doses. Belly Armor products do not shield against this type of radiation. The diagram below shows the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Of increasing ...
