Radiation causes damage to the cells of the body through ionisation, and this can result in rapid body failure for massive overdoses, to cancers developing years later for smaller overdoses. All organisations using nuclear radiation must have trained health physics staff working to ensure nobody gets overdosed in normal working.
It can also travel through many substances like water, oxygen, basically when it gets loose it is highly deadly within a certain distance.

Why is ultrasound less dangerous than x rays?
because ultrasound is not radiation
Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?
Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.
Gave you a example of radiation in real life?

What can radiation cause?
