highradiotoxicity
Highradiotoxicity refers to the property of certain substances to cause significant damage to living organisms due to their radioactivity. This damage can occur at the cellular or molecular level and is a result of the energetic particles and electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive isotopes. The severity of the toxic effect is directly related to the type and energy of the radiation, the amount of radioactive material present, and the duration of exposure.
Substances with high radiotoxicity often emit alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Alpha and beta
Exposure to highly radiotoxic materials can lead to a range of health effects, from acute radiation sickness
