Health hazards related to nuclear radiations are:
Health hazards related to nuclear radiations are:
- A. They can cause cancer
- B. They can cause deformity in the body
- C. They can damage the genes of a person.
- D. All of the above.
Step-by-step solution
Nuclear radiation is known to cause various health issues. It can induce cancer by damaging DNA and promoting abnormal cell growth. It can cause bodily deformities, either through direct tissue damage or developmental effects in exposed fetuses. Additionally, radiation can cause genetic mutations that may be passed to offspring. Therefore, all listed options are valid health hazards.
