radiation can cause:
- damage to human tissue
- cancer
- radiation sickness / burns
- mutation of cells leading to illness
- sterilsation
Workers who are at risk from radiation often wear a radiation badge to monitor the amount of radiation they have been exposed to over a period of time. The badge is a small packet containing photographic film. The more radiation a worker has been exposed to, the darker the film is when it has been developed.
