MPH 605 Week 4 Journal .docx MPH 605 Week 4 MPH 605 Environmental Health Services Example for: Ionizing; X-ray Nonionizing; Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation is energy that travels through space. Ionizing radiation indicates radiation that has a large amount of energy that it can knock electrons out of atoms and can affect atoms of living things. (Friis, 2019). Ionizing radiation can create or cause health issues by harming the tissues and DNA in an individual. (Friis, 2019). X-ray is a good example of ionizing that is very familiar. Radiation has the capability of penetrating our body and capturing pictures of our bones (Hendan et al., 2020). X-rays are termed ionizing because they have a unique way of removing electrons from molecules and atoms in a manner through which they all pass through. In my opinion, based on research, X-ray exposes a patient undergoing the process to radiation. The amount of radiation at
