Best Answer

the most dangerous radiation outside your body mostly consists of human disposal waste which smells. Arkenales and gamma are the most dangerous, and have a high percentage of harmful toxins.

Gamma


Which form of nuclear radiation is least damaging to humans?

Alpha, from outside the body, because alpha is stopped by the skin, a sheet of paper, or a few inches of air. From inside the body, however, alpha is one of the most dangerous forms of radiation.


What is external radiation?

External radiation therapy, where the rays are directed from a source outside the body, is the most common mode of radiation treatment.

What is most dangerous alpha decay beta decay gamma decay?

It depends on where the radiation is coming from. Alpha particles are the least penetrating, having the most mass and the most charge. They can be stopped with only a few inches of air or the skin. Beta particles are middle of the road. They have small mass, and only half the charge of an alpha particle. They can be stopped with a millimeter or so of aluminum, so they have more penetrating power. Gamma radiation is at the high end. They are photons, with extremely low mass and no charge, so their penetrating power is highest. Often, they require massive shielding to stop them. So, from outside the body, gamma radiation is the most dangerous. However, if you ingest the radioactive material into your body, it can lodge in sensitive places, such as the lungs, the thyroid, the bones, nearly anywhere. In that context, alpha particles are the most dangerous, because now they have no barrier to penetration, and they have the most impact on our cells.


What rays are dangerous to living things?

Death rays. Most types of radiation is dangerous, even the UV that makes it though the atmosphere. However, a human body can cope with a level or incoming radiation. Higher energy rays, such as gamma and x-rays are much more damaging, but fortunately they do not penetrate the atmosphere very well.
