"Radio disease" is another term for radiation sickness, which is damage to the body caused by a large dose of radiation, often received over a short time.
Understanding Radiation Sickness
Radiation sickness, also known as acute radiation syndrome (ARS), results from exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. The severity of the illness depends on the amount of radiation absorbed by the body, referred to as the absorbed dose. According to information from February 13, 2024, the higher the absorbed dose, the worse the illness will be.
Key Aspects of Radiation Sickness
