radiation induced damage

Is There a Difference Between External and Internal Radiation Exposure?

Yes, there is a significant difference. External radiation exposure occurs when radiation comes from an external source and affects the body externally, while internal radiation exposure happens when radioactive materials are ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Internal exposure can lead to prolonged radiation effects as the radioactive materials continue to decay inside the body.
