Radiation is of very high frequency which means that it is having very high energy. It can penetrate our skin but it cannot penetrate our bones. This energy is trapped by the bone cells. In the bones Blood is manufactured. When this extra energy gets into bones then it destroys the blood cells inviting a disease called cancer.
