Any wave has an associated particle, and vice versa. However, at very low energies - such as radio waves - the wave nature stands out more; the particle nature is hard to detect in such a case.
Some types of radiation that are not given off by radioactive decay are the following: radio waves, visible light, sound waves, etc...
Beta and Gamma radiation

Ultraviolet is ionising radiation. That means that it will ionise (turn into ions) some substances due to being a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation. If these 'substances' happen to be in your skin then you can start to see how UV radiation can be bad.
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy

Gamma radiation
Substances that emit ionizing radiation
You could conceivably used any type of radiation to identify substances however the most commonly used ones are the Ultra-violet as they produce fluorescence in the visible range.
Radiation therapy is delivered via external radiation or via internal radiation therapy (the implantation/injection of radioactive substances).

radionuclides
It is mainly because sea water contains salts which ionise. It is these ionised particles that react with metallic substances and cause corrosion.
