Biological effects of radiation

The biological effects of radiation primarily include deterministic and stochastic effects. Deterministic effects occur when radiation doses reach a certain threshold, causing specific and predictable damage to biological organisms, such as skin erythema, alopecia, and leukopenia. Stochastic effects, on the other hand, refer to the probability of radiation-induced damage occurring in biological organisms being proportional to the radiation dose, but the type and severity of damage cannot be predicted, such as cancer and genetic effects. Additionally, the impact of radiation on biological organisms depends on factors such as radiation type, exposure time, and organism sensitivity.
