Cells that do not have a nucleus
Ionizing radiation by definition is radiation with a high enough energy to remove electrons from their orbits. This is dangerous because it emits x-rays, damages tissue, can cause long term damage like cancer, and heats things up.
No of course not.answ2. Light and heat are ordinary EM (electromagnetic) radiation.Ionizing radiation is sufficiently energetic to remove parts of an atom, and to thus ionize it.The UV from sunshine may damage the molecular bonds, but this is not ionizing radiation.
Radiation, which comes in a couple of harmful forms, can be either electromagnetic or particulate. The dangerous electromagnetic radiation includes X-rays and the more potent gamma rays. Particulate radiation takes a number of forms which include alpha, beta, proton and neutron radiation. All these forms of radiation are what are called ionizing radiation. The ability of this radiation to penetrate varies, but the energies carried by ionizing radiation can damage genetic material within cells. This can result in cellular damage, mutation or even the death of the cell. Biologic material is seriously threatened by these types of radiation, and exposure should be minimized if not completely eliminated.
Radiation exposure causes damage to the cells of your body, which can mutate them. Mutated cells are sometimes referred to as cancer cells, and thus radiation can give you cancer. There are different effects from different kinds of radiation, but mutating cells is the basic form of damage that radiation does.
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.

Ionizing
Some air cleaning systems work by ionizing and trapping dust particles. Ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays, can severely damage living cells.
Radiation poisoning, also called radiationsickness or a creeping dose, is a form of damage to organ tissue due to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.

No. Laser hair removal uses non-ionizing radiation (which means it doesn't damage DNA) so it can't cause cancer. We're surrounded by ionizing radiation every day. Other examples of non-ionizing radiation include visible light and radio waves.

No, absolutely not. The phone emits radiation -- but not the bad kind. It emits the same kind of radiation as your flashlight or radio, it's not going to damage anything. The "bad kind" of radiation (ionizing radiation) can damage your "private part", but there's none of it in your phone.
