The health effects from exposure to ionizing radiation can be grouped into two general categories, prompt and delayed health effects. a) Prompt Health Effects. Very large doses of radiation can cause harmful health effects within hours, days or weeks. Such effects are called prompt effects because they appear fairly soon after exposure to radiation. The prompt effects are radiation burns to exposed skin and radiation sickness, which can be fatal. 1, record 2, English, - harmful%20effect

Les effets d'une exposition aux rayonnements ionisants sur la santé se répartissent en deux catégories : les effets immédiats et les effets tardifs. a) Effets immédiats. De très fortes doses de rayonnements peuvent avoir des effets nocifs sur la santé en l'espace de quelques heures, jours ou semaines. Ces effets sont appelés effets immédiats, car ils se manifestent assez rapidement après l'irradiation. Il s'agit notamment des brûlures par irradiation et du mal des rayons, effets qui peuvent tous deux être mortels. 1, record 2, French, - effet%20nocif%20sur%20la%20sant%C3%A9
