radiation hazards
Invisible emission threats
Radiation hazards are dangers posed by exposure to ionizing radiation—the kind that can damage living tissue by disrupting cellular DNA.
Sources include nuclear materials, X-ray equipment, and radioactive waste.
The term appears in safety protocols, warning signage, and regulatory contexts: Workers must be trained to recognize radiation hazards.
Exposure risks range from acute radiation sickness to long-term cancer development.
