Because it causes "ionization" in materials - if those materials are flesh, it damages them.
Radio radiation is non-ionizing, meaning it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. This type of radiation is generally considered less harmful to human health compared to ionizing radiation.
Alpha particles are ionizing radiation because they have a positive charge and can remove electrons from atoms they interact with, causing ionization. This can damage living tissues if exposure is significant.
Infrared radiation is non-ionizing, which means it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. It is considered low-energy electromagnetic radiation that can generate heat in tissues but does not have enough energy to cause ionization.
Microwaves are non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which means they do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. This makes them safer for everyday use compared to ionizing radiation like X-rays or gamma rays.
Alpha radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter. It consists of particles that are relatively large and heavy, which makes them easier to block. They can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
The IR in IRMER stands for Ionising Radiation to which the regulation relates. MRI does not employ Ionising radiation so as far as I am aware the regulation doesn't apply to MRI.
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.
Radio radiation is non-ionizing, meaning it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. This type of radiation is generally considered less harmful to human health compared to ionizing radiation.

Alpha particles are ionizing radiation because they have a positive charge and can remove electrons from atoms they interact with, causing ionization. This can damage living tissues if exposure is significant.
Any electromagnetic radiation can be dangerous. Alpha waves are higher on the radiation scale than x-rays so yes, they are dangerous.
Because it emits ionising radiation
Radioactive elements.
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
You need to protect ourself from ionising radiation because you can die. Exactly!radiation causes radiatgion poisoning which leads to death if a kio3 solution isn't taken imediatly..also these solution prevents thyroid cancer but only that.other types can't be prevented so cancer and other anomalie even teratogenesis
