Ionizing radiation in the body can cause problems in multiple ways. One way is by creating highly reactive free radicals. Water for example breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. Which is really not good for life. Ionizing radiation in the body can cause problems in multiple ways. One way is by creating highly reactive free radicals.

Interactions happen pretty fast. 1 millionth of a second the toxic products are formed.
Doseage - Chronic and acute. Acute is generally worse because the body can't repair itself.
**LD50/30:** Dose of radiation expected to cause death to 50 percent of an exposed population within 30 days.
