organisms and the environment depend on their
energy levels. Non-ionizing radiations, such as
radio waves, microwaves, and visible light, do
not carry enough energy to remove electrons
from atoms and are generally safe in low
amounts. However, excessive exposure can
lead to tissue damage due to heat. Ionizing
radiations, like x-rays and gamma rays, have
high energy and can alter cellular molecules,
potentially causing harm such as cancer. These
types of radiation are often encountered during
medical procedures. Improper handling of
radioactive materials can lead to environmental
contamination, affecting air, soil, water, and
even entering the food chain, posing risks to all
living organisms.

Answer the following questions in complete

sentences:

1.Explain the difference between non-ionizing

and ionizing radiation in terms of energy and
effects on living organisms.

2.Describe how improper handling of radioactive

materials can impact the environment and living
organisms.
