Effects of the action of ionizing radiation and UV rays on biological systems

Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of particles or waves. According to the magnitude of the energy, it is mainly divided into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to cause chemical changes in cells and damage them. Some cells may die or mutate, temporarily or permanently. Radiation damage to DNA can cause cancer. Therefore, it is very important today to study the processes taking place in the human body as a result of radiation and its effects.
