Both beta and gamma rays may penetrate human tissues, where they smash with other atoms to disintegrate molecules and perhaps even harm cellular DNA. There is a chance that errors will be made as the body attempts to heal the damage, leading to cancer.

Radioactive substances are present in several foods in trace levels. Food can become radioactive in several ways:

  • Plant roots absorb radionuclides from the soil during uptake.
  • Deposition: Radioactive dust particles fall to the ground and land on crops.
  • Bioaccumulation: Radionuclides build up in animals that consume radioactively contaminated vegetation, food, or water.
