Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-
d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$
rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These ionizations have the ability to disru
d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$ d$
pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special protecti
