Photodisintegration is a nuclear reaction, hence it can't be helped that it may pose a threat for humans. Photodisntegration may cause an atomic body to eject particles such as neutron, proton, alpha emission, and particle cluster. while most of them are harmless one of them is particularly lethal for humans. Alpha particle. The emission of alpha particles can't penetrate human skin so it doesn't pose any harm through contact. However, if by any chance one is to inhale or ingest them, then it will become lethal, as a matter of fact, it can become more lethal than gamma-ray and beta particles. This is because the alpha particle is more ionizing compared to another emission. So be careful with it in the future.
