Abstract: Our surroundings are constantly filled with radiation, both natural and man-made, which is essential to many industrial, medicinal, and scientific processes. Modifying possible health hazards and optimizing its advantageous applications require an understanding of its diverse forms, origins, and biological impacts. This review examines the complex relationships between radiation and human health, taking into account biological processes, historical viewpoints, health consequences, legal frameworks, and new issues. After providing a summary of the origins and evolution of radiation science, we investigate the biological processes that underlie cellular damage caused by radiation, such as (DNA) damage and repair mechanisms. In this research, we review the sources and types of ionizing nuclear radiation and their impact on human health.
Keywords: DNA damage, Beta particles, Gamma rays, Alpha particle.
