Thumbnail image for "Radiation Exposure"

Radiation is a form of energy that can pass through our bodies. We're exposed to low levels of it all the time. Minerals, electrical power lines and cell phones are all sources. It even comes to us from space. These sources don't usually cause harm. But too much radiation damages your body's cells. It can cause cancer.
