Alpha particle emissions are considered to be an “internal” hazard, meaning the travel distance and penetrating ability of the emitted particles are both very low, however, the alpha particle’s ability to cause significant damage to cells in soft tissue such as the lungs or stomach lining, are far greater than the hazard from gamma radiation.
