This radiation can affect living organisms. Ionizing radiation is particularly harmful because it can ionize molecules or break chemical bonds, which damages the molecules & causes malfunctions in cell processes. Types of radiation differ in their ability to penetrate material and damage tissue, with alpha particles the least penetrating, but potentially most damaging, and gamma rays the most penetrating.
