Ionizing Radiation
Any radiation capable of displacing electrons from atoms or molecules, producing ions. Examples: alpha, beta, gamma, x-rays, neutrons, and ultraviolet light. High doses may produce severe skin or tissue damage.
non-ionizing radiation
Electromagnetic radiation of low energy that is not capable of causing ionization.

Ionizing Radiation
Radiation that can strip electrons from atoms; e.g., alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.

Food Irradiation The process of destroying microorganisms, bacteria, viruses and insects in food products through ionizing radiation. To be clear, irradiation does not cause food to be radioactive.
It means making every reasonable effort to maintain exposures to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical.
radiation sickness The complex of symptoms resulting from excessive exposure of most of the body to ionizing radiation.
Radioactive Substances: Substances that emit ionizing radiation.
Radioactive Waste: Any waste that emits energy as rays, waves, streams or energetic particles.
radiation: Radiation is a term commonly used to describe ionizing radiation (i.e., x and gamma rays, alpha and beta particles, neutrons). Ionizing radiation is radiation that is capable of producing ions by passing through matter.
The product of the absorbed dose from ionizing radiation and such factors as account for biological differences due to the type of radiation and its distribution in the body in the body.

Radioactive Substances: Substances that emit ionizing radiation.
Radioisotopes: Chemical variants of radioactive elements with potentially oncogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects on the human body.
Organic Food: (From the USDA) Food produced without: antibiotics; growth hormones; most conventional pesticides; petroleum- based fertilizers or sewage sludge-based fertilizers; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.
Maximum references laid down in Title IV for the doses resulting from the exposure of workers, apprentices and students and members of the public to ionizing radiation covered by this Directive that apply to the sum of the relevant doses from ...
rem : The unit of dose equivalent from ionizing radiation to the total body or any internal organ or organ system. A millirem (mrem)" is 1/1000 of a rem.
Provide information at the time of sampling. They are used to detect and monitor flammable or explosive atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, certain gases and vapors, ionizing radiation, and free product.
