zing radiation and children's health: Conclusions

Ionizing radiation causes displacement of atomic electrons, breaks chemical bonds and produces chemical changes in living cells which can lead either to cell death or the introduction of fixed mutation in the genetic material of the cell or even nearby cells. Ionizing radiation falls into two broad groups: 1) particulate radiations such as high energy electrons, neutrons, protons or alpha particles that ionize matter by direct atomic collisions ; and 2) electromagnetic radiations or photons such as X-rays or gamma rays which ionize matter by other types of atomic interactions.
