Radiation alters and destroys cells in living organisms. Whether an organism is a plant or an animal (including a human), radiation can result in illness or death.
Radioactive pollution can cause genetic mutations in living organisms, and in their descendants. If an animal is exposed to radioactive pollution, for example, it may give birth to babies that have severe congenital defects. These mutations can also cause cancer, sometimes several years in the future, as well as conditions such as infertility and
Radiation can also have a burning effect: chemical burns are slightly different from the burns that come from excessive heat as chemicals need not be at a high temperature for an organism to feel a burning sensation when they come into contact with them. However, radioactive burns can cause blistering, reddening, pain and damage to skin tissue.
Damage to the soil and plants is another key effect of radioactive pollution. Radioactive pollution can leave soil infertile and unfit for crops for several decades. It can leave the air unsafe to breathe, too.
