High-energy ultraviolet rays, X-rays, gamma rays are called ionizing radiation. Also constituting ionizing radiation are alpha and beta particles, protons, high-speed energetic electrons (negatrons), positrons, charged mesons, muons, heavy ions, neutrons, and other nuclear particles. Ionizing radiation have the ability to expel electrons from the atom or molecule and transform them into ions. They can damage DNA, causing mutations in their genetic codes and cancer. Burns and injuries from this type of radiation can occur due to radiation (diagnostic equipment and medical treatment: X-rays,...
