Translate "radiation" into Dutch (Nederlands)

radiation — straling (Dutch / Nederlands)

Emissies van iedere straling van ofwel natuurlijke of kunstmatige oorsprong, zoals radiogoven, de zonnestralen, medische x-stralen, fallout en nucleairafval geproduceerd door nucleaire wapens en kernenergie. Straling wordt gewoonlijk verdeeld tussen niet-ioniserende straling zoals warmtestraling (hitte) en licht en nucleaire straling. Niet-ioniserende straling omvat ook de ultravioletstraling van de zon, hoewel die ook cel- en weefselschade kan aanrichten, wordt die niet in verband gebracht met nucleaire straling.

The original English definition:

radiation (English)

Emission of any rays from either natural or man-made origins, such as radio waves, the sun's rays, medical X-rays and the fall-out and nuclear wastes produced by nuclear weapons and nuclear energy production. Radiation is usually divided between non-ionizing radiation, such as thermal radiation (heat) and light, and nuclear radiation. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet radiation from the sun which, although it can damage cells and tissues, does not involve the ionization events of nuclear radiation. (Source: WRIGHT)
