Radiation hazard occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of radiation during work or due to other reasons. They result in causing skin burns and acute radiation syndrome. In the long term, they cause cancer and cardiovascular disease. Skin cancers occur due to exposure of the body to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV). Radioactive chemicals such as radioactive cesium, uranium, and strontium can get settled in food, water, and soil, causing health hazards in humans.
