The radiation emitted during radioactive decay can cause the material through which it passes to become ionised and it is therefore called ionising radiation. X-rays are another type of ionising radiation. Ionisation can result in chemical changes which can lead to alterations in living cells and eventually, perhaps, to manifest biological effects.
