ionizing radiation
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.

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.
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Yes, but there are a number of radiation besides ionizing radiation.
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.

Alpha radiation.
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
"Ionizing" means that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions. In other words, it can knock off one or more electrons.
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
