| ionising radiation Radiation that is capable of energizing atoms sufficiently to remove electrons from them. In this state atoms become more reactive, so that ionizing radiation increases chemical activity and in this way produces biological effects, including effects that involve alterations induced in DNA. X-rays and gamma-rays are the only electromagnetic waves that cause ionization in biological material | Ionisierende Strahlung |
| ionising radiation | Ionisierende Strahlung |
| non-ionising radiation Radiation that does not change the structure of atoms but does heat tissue and may cause harmful biological effects | Nichtionisierende Strahlung |
| non-ionising radiation | Nichtionisierende Strahlung |
| non-stochastic effects of ionising radiation | nichtstochastische Wirkungen ionisierender Strahlen |
| the ionising radiations reacted on an organism by a transfer of energy | ionisierende Strahlungen wirken auf einen Organismus durch Energieübertragung ein |
