Can gamma rays used for crop improvement programmes prove to be harmful for health? Discuss.

(N/A) Gamma rays are a form of ionizing radiation used in mutation breeding to induce genetic variability in crops.
They are used under controlled laboratory or field conditions to treat seeds or plant tissues.
These rays do not remain in the plant or the final food product,as they are a form of energy and not a chemical residue.
Therefore,they are not harmful to human health when consumed,provided the safety protocols are followed during the irradiation process to prevent direct exposure to the personnel involved.
