1. Consequences of ionization in human cells include
1. creation of unstable atoms.
2. production of free electrons.
3. creation of highly reactivegifree molecules (called free radicals) capable of producingigsubs
tances poisonous to the cell.
4. creation of new biologic molecules detrimental to the living cell.
