'''Ionizing radiation''' is high-frequency [[radiation]] which is energetic enough to produce [[ion]]s. This radiation has the ability to break off electrons from the materials in encounters, thus making these affected atoms or molecules [[cation]]s. When living tissue is exposed to ionizing radiation, deformities and diseases (most notably cancer) can result. Forms of ionizing radiation include [[gamma ray]]s, [[x-rays]], and most [[ultraviolet]] light.<ref>http://www.livescience.com/health/cell-phone-radiation-cancer-100118.html</ref><ref>https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/ionizing_radiation.html</ref>

Exposure to 5 Sieverts has a 50% chance of killing you, and exposure to 30 Sieverts will kill you 100% of the time. The background radiation you are exposed to every day is around 0.07-0.30 millionths of a sievert. Exposure to 1 tenth of a sievert or more comes with an increased risk of cancer.
