Radiations Examples Physical Carcinogens Ionizing X Rays Gamma Rays

Physical carcinogens include ionizing radiation like X-rays and gamma rays, and non-ionizing radiation like UV, which can cause DNA damage leading to neoplastic transformation.

Fyzikální karcinogeny zahrnují ionizující záření (např. rentgenové a gama záření) a neionizující záření (např. UV záření), které může poškodit DNA a vést k rakovinné transformaci.
