Solution 2

Radiations can have several harmful impacts on the human body, depending on the type and exposure level. Ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, can damage or kill cells, leading to increased risk of cancer, DNA mutations, and genetic disorders. Prolonged exposure can also cause radiation sickness, which includes symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and weakened immune function. Non-ionizing radiation, like UV rays from the sun, can cause skin damage, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Overall, excessive exposure to radiation poses significant risks to human health.
