Ionizing radiation occurs as electromagnetic waves of extremely short wavelength and as accelerated atomic particles (e.g., electrons, protons, neutrons, a-particles).
The injuries caused by ionizing radiation include mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects and various acute and chronic tissue reactions, such as erythema, cataract of the lens, sterility, and depression of hematopoiesis.
