The radiation interacts with living matter atoms for example cells,

tissues, organs, etc. Depend on the intensity, amount and type of

radiation to which it was exposed to determine if damages can be
recovered.
-When radiation interacts at the cellular level can affect: membrane,
cytoplasm and the nucleus

When interacting with the membrane: Produce

permeability alterations to this, causing that the exchange of fluids is
greater than normal.

When interacting with the cytoplasm: as its main

component is water, receiving his radical radiation become unstable
caused join hydronium molecules that would cause poisoning of the cell.

When interacting with the nucleus: it can generate alteration

in genes and even chromosome breakage which will cause when the cell
divides do with different characteristics to normal. it can also affect the
cells that form tissues and organs, causing damage to the descendants
of the person.

The effects of radiation are divided according to the

time lag in detecting damage:
Acute effects: Damage manifest in minutes, days or weeks. Causing
"Acute radiation syndrome" their symptoms are: anorexia, vomiting,
fever, nausea and bleeding

Long-term effects: They make their appearance after decades or

generations.
Some effects could be:
-Cataratas del cristalino
-Cncer a los huesos
-Leucemia
-Cicatrices
-Cncer pulmonar

-Anemias
-Esterilidad
