Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation, or hard radiation, is a form of radiation which carries sufficient energy to ionize an atom or molecule. It can be both natural or artificially generated. Background radiation was determined by measuring the amount of ionizing radiation in a particular location. 
The asteroid ship Yonada, as it flew through space, left a trail of debris and hard radiation. ()
Ionizing radiation had the ability to interfere with a starship's sensors. In 2370, Geordi La Forge suggested that the asteroid containing the be blanketed in ionizing radiation, which also was found naturally in the same area, in order to prevent its discovery by Romulans. ()
