Mitteeioniseeriv
Mitteeioniseeriv is a term used in radiation science and safety to describe electromagnetic radiation or energetic particles whose photons or quanta do not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. In this sense, mitteeioniseeriv radiation cannot remove tightly bound electrons and is therefore generally associated with non-ionizing effects in biological tissue.
It encompasses a broad range of wavelengths and energies, typically including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation,
Interactions of mitteeioniseeriv radiation with matter are primarily through heating and other non-ionizing processes such as
In practice, the term is used to distinguish non-ionizing (mitteeioniseeriv) from ionizing radiation (e.g., X-rays, gamma
