	The difference between the different types of radiation is their energy levels, which in turn, have different effects on material. Alpha, beta and [[neutron]] radiation are considered to be in the form of [[particle\|particles]] while gamma rays and [[x-ray]]s are in the form of [[wave\|waves]]. For example, alpha particles have the highest [[charge]] of all the radiation types and are therefore the most damaging due to their two charged [[proton\|protons]] and two neutrons.<ref name="RE5">UNEP. “Radiation Effects and Sources,” United Nations Environment Programme, Austria.

Dosage and the different quantity definitions do not represent the dose rate which is defined as the amount of accumulated radiation over time. For example living at sea level for a year is equivalent to 280 μSv and living at sea level for two years would be 560μSv.
The [https://prezi.com/dpsefvp-o5je/radioactive-prezi/#| interactive prezi] below shows the amount of micro sieverts per year one can be exposed to based on their yearly activity. Note that while even food gives some radioactive dose the dosage that people receive is well below the level where harmful biological effects occur.
