Answer:
Here are a few common health effects or harmful effects of radiation on the human body.
1. Hair
Loss of hair fall occurs when exposure to radiation is higher than 200 rems.
2. Heart and Brain
Intense exposure to radiation from 1000 to 5000 rems will affect the functioning of the heart. Radiation kills nerve cells and small blood vessels of heart which may cause immediate death. Brain cells are affected if the radiation exposure is greater than 5000 rems.
3. Thyroid
Certain body parts are affected specifically when exposed to different types of radiation sources. The thyroid gland may be affected when exposed to radioactive iodine. If exposed to a considerable amount of radioactive iodine, whole or part of the thyroid can be affected.
4. Blood System
A number of lymphocytic cells present in the blood will be reduced if a person is exposed to 100 rems. This may cause several immune problems. This is termed as mild radiation sickness. As per the reports from Nagasaki and Hiroshima, symptoms may be present more than ten years from that exposure.
5. Reproductive Tract
As the cells of the reproductive tract divide fastly, these are more prone to be affected even if the exposure is not more than 200 rems.

Answer:
exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute radiation syndrome ("radiation sickness"). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
