beta radiation
Beta radiation is a type of ionizing radiation which is produced by the decay of radioactive atoms. It consists of high-energy particles, specifically beta particles, that are each identical to a fast-moving electron and can penetrate living tissues and damage cells. However, beta radiation is less penetrating than gamma radiation. It can be hazardous if radioactive material is ingested or inhaled but it is usually stopped by a thin sheet of plastic or metal.
