Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear 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.

ionizing radiation
All of the following cell types can be sensitive to ionizing radiation damage: Stem cells: can be more sensitive because they are actively dividing. Rapidly dividing cells: such as those in the skin, digestive tract, and bone marrow. Cancer cells: due to their increased rate of cell division compared to normal cells.
Rapidly dividing cells, such as those found in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and hair follicles, are most sensitive to ionizing radiation due to their high rate of proliferation. This is because ionizing radiation primarily affects cells during the division process, when the DNA is most vulnerable to damage.
Cells that do not have a nucleus
Mature red blood cells are least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage because they do not possess a nucleus, limiting their ability to repair DNA damage caused by radiation exposure. This makes them less vulnerable to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation compared to other cell types like stem cells or rapidly dividing cells.
Mature red blood cells are considered the least sensitive to ionizing radiation because they lack a nucleus and do not undergo cellular division, making them less susceptible to DNA damage caused by radiation.
Red blood cells are the least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage because they lack a nucleus and are unable to repair DNA damage caused by radiation exposure. This also makes them unable to undergo cell division or replication.
Cells that rapidly divide are most sensitive to ionizing radiation damage, including stem cells, progenitor cells, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and skin. These cells have higher metabolic activity and are less able to repair damaged DNA compared to more differentiated cells.
Yes.Normally gama ray it kill fast dividing cells but can affect also normal cells.
