Article body: Ionizing radiation from unstable elements creates radiation. This radiation comes from elements and their instability. Radiation can penetrate into objects, such as the skin. Beta particles can damage skin with their ionizing power. Alpha particles can damage skin, but since their is greater mass compared to beta particles, the damage goes less deep and does not damage skin tissue when it is emitted. The alpha particles does however have greater capability to alter skin tissue compared to beta particles. Alpha particles can cause danger when it is inside the body and there it's potential damage is active and becomes dangerous.
