We can classify radiation according to the effects it produces on matter, into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation includes cosmic rays, X rays and the radiation from radioactive materials. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet light, radiant heat, radio waves and microwaves.
Radiation & the environment: Assessing effects on plants and animals. An overview of a recent report issued by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation.
The IAEA develops safety standards that establish radiation safety principles and describe the practices associated with the use of ionizing radiation. The application of these safety principles ensures that the environment is adequately protected from radiation.
29 Ιουν 2016 · This publication does not set, or even recommend, radiation safety standards, rather, it provides information on basic science related to radiation (origin, quantities and units), on radiation effects (on humans and the environment) and on radiation sources (natural and artificial).
27 Ιουλ 2023 · WHO fact sheet on ionizing radiation, health effects and protective measures: includes key facts, definition, sources, type of exposure, health effects, nuclear emergencies, WHO response.
All sources of radiation can potentially produce a radiation dose and subsequent biological effect in both human and nonhuman biota. It is known that extremely large doses of radiation can be biologically harmful to living organisms.
