Answer:
Decay products are also called "daughter products". They are radionuclides that are formed by the radioactive decay of parent radionuclides.
Radiation can either kill cells or damage the DNA within them, which damages their ability to reproduce and can eventually lead to cancer. When radiation is present, high energy particles pass through your body. These can collide with atoms in your body and disrupt atomic structure.
