Answer:
Benefits :
Meanwhile, ionising radiation produces ions when it hits an atom of a matter and has higher energy than non-ionising radiation. X-ray and gamma ray are both ionising radiation and they can penetrate the human body. In medicine, one of the field that uses ionising radiation is radiology.
Drawbacks:
Beyond certain thresholds, radiation can impair the functioning of tissues and/or organs and can produce acute effects such as skin redness, hair loss, radiation burns, or acute radiation syndrome. These effects are more severe at higher doses and higher dose rates.
