3.6.2.4.7.3.3.4)- Beta radiation:
Beta particles cause burnings on the skin. If ingested, particles loaded with this kind of radiation would provoke severe gastrointestinal, bone and endocrine problems. Glands and bone marrow are particularly affected.
Cancer, leukaemia and other maladies are caused by this kind of radiation; the sequels may not be evident in the beginning, or may appear after a relatively long time.
NBC suits and protective gear like respirators or gas masks usually protect the body from alpha and beta particles.
