Which risk increases dramatically following Cesium-137 contamination indoors?

💡 Explanation

Chromosomal damage increases following Cs-137 contamination because internal exposure undergoes radioactive decay, resulting in cellular irradiation inducing double-strand breaks. This is more risky than thyroid issues, because cesium spreads far beyond the thyroid, rather than localizing as iodine does.
