ionise

Here, the submillimetre emission is shown as the blue clouds surrounding the reddish glow of the ionised gas (shown with data from the SuperCosmos H-alpha survey).

The invisible magnetosphere shields us from the dangerous ionising radiation of space.

Another big problem is that space is brimming with ionising radiation that rips DNA to shreds.

Irradiated foods: meat and dairy produce have ionising radiation applied to them before packaging.

These days, however, the main source of ionising radiation for most people is neither fallout from bombs nor radiotherapy; it is dental X-rays.

Ironically, because past research studying the after-effects of exposure to things like atom bombs and radiation treatments for cancer suggests the most important environmental risk factor for meningiomas is ionising radiation.
