Meaning

Irradiation is when a material is exposed to ionising radiation.

About Irradiation

Irradiation is dangerous because it can cause the atoms in living tissue to become ionised which can kill cells or damage their DNA leading to cancer.

Irradiation can be useful as it can destroy living organisms such as bacteria. Food and medical equipment are irradiated to sterilise them.

Irradiation does not leave a material radioactive so after a material has been irradiated the danger is gone.
