Beta Rays

Beta rays are a process where charged particles penetrate living tissue and cause changes in the molecular and electrochemical activity of cells, leading to disruption of their functions. Beta radiation is the process of propagation of high-energy electrons, which are a stream of charged particles with large mass and high speed. The high speed of electrons leads to the ionization reaction of atoms and molecules of the substance with which they come into contact.

Beta radiation is implicated in a number of different health-related disorders, and researchers are constantly working to develop treatments and protection against its effects. In many cases, scientists argue that beta radiation can negatively affect the functioning of brain neurons and contribute to the development of neurodegenerative processes that disrupt the structure of neurons. Studies have shown that with beta radiation, tumors grow better, so it takes longer to cure them. The study of beta rays is very important for identifying new effective methods of treating cancer (primarily sarcomas) and diseases of the nervous system, as well as assessing the extent of the impact of this radiation on ecosystems and living organisms.
