Damaging effect on the body of ionizing radiation. Radiation sickness! classification stages of development, pathogenesis consequences. Environmental aspects of the issue

Reading File
This is a broad topic. I can structure it as:
  1. Sources and types of ionizing radiation
  2. Molecular and cellular injury
  3. Radiation sickness (acute radiation syndrome): classification and stages
  4. Organ-system syndromes and clinical consequences
  5. Late effects: cancer, cataracts, infertility, fetal effects
  6. Environmental radiation, exposure pathways, and prevention
  7. Public-health response to radiation incidents
High-level overview: Ionizing radiation damages tissue mainly by ionizing water and biomolecules, producing free radicals and direct DNA breaks. The outcome depends on absorbed dose, dose rate, radiation type, exposed body area, and tissue radiosensitivity. Rapidly dividing tissues, especially bone marrow, intestinal epithelium, gonads, and the fetus, are particularly sensitive.
Acute radiation syndrome occurs after a high, penetrating, whole-body or near-whole-body dose delivered over a short time. It typically progresses through prodromal illness, a latent interval, manifest illness, then recovery or death. Environmental risk management focuses on justification of exposure, dose minimization, shielding, time-distance protection, contamination control, monitoring, and emergency preparedness.
