Answer:

Skin burns and increasing effect of cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionizing radiations are majorly produced during radioactivity process. Radioactivity is the disintegration of radioactive elements to produce energy. This energy produced are in form of ionizing radiations. Most elements that undergoes radioactivity are unstable and they produce some electromagnetic radiations like gamma rays, alpha rays and beta rays. Some of this radiations are harmful to the health and serves as threats and hazards to humans. Some of this hazards caused by this radiations includes skin burns and cancer which are due to our exposure to sources of ionizing radiations some of which are x-rays in hospitals, soil and vegetation.
