How does ionizing radiation works for sterilixe insects?
Ionizing radiation is a method of area wide pest control management. Ionizing radiation works by making insects unable to reproduce (sterile). Gamma radiation is most often used for this task, though sometimes high energy electrons or X-rays are used.
Which one of the following is physical stressor lead ionizing radiation hcv or hbv?
ionizing radiation
Is ionizing radiation bactericidal?
Yes. Shortwave ultraviolet and gamma radiation are often used to sterilize foodstuffs and spices.
What do scientist mean by radiation?
In physics, radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energy or waves travel through a medium or space. There are two distinct types of radiation; ionizing and non-ionizing. The word radiation is commonly used in reference to ionizing radiation only (i.e., having sufficient energy to ionize an atom), but it may also refer to non-ionizing radiation (e.g., radio waves, heat orvisible light). The energy radiates (i.e., travels outward in straight lines in all directions) from its source. This geometry naturally leads to a system of measurements and physical units that are equally applicable to all types of radiation. Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to organisms and can result in changes to the natural environment.
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Would you classify radiation as ionizing radiation?
Yes, but there are a number of radiation besides ionizing radiation.

Are there greater ionizing or non-ionizing industrial hazards in the US?
The use of ionizing radiation in the American workplace has been substantially reduced during the last 30-40 years. As a result of that reduction, have the hazards of non-ionizing radiation used in the workplace become greater than the remaining hazards of ionizing radiation still in use? There are no readily accessible studies to tell us whether or not that has happened, and mostly it does not matter. The important thing is to deal correctly with all the radiation hazards, ionizing and non-ionizing, that are present in each particular workplace.
What is a biodosimeter?
A biodosimeter is a dosimeter used in biodosimetry - a device used to measure a dose of ionizing radiation.
