How it's used
Used primarily in scientific or health-related contexts to describe energy emission. While technically broad in physics, it is almost exclusively associated with danger or health concerns in daily conversation. People often use it to express anxiety about household appliances or medical imaging procedures.
Examples
Do these electronic products have radiation?
Is long-term exposure to radiation bad for the body?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 放射性, which refers to the property of being radioactive rather than the radiation itself. Learners often use 輻射 as an adjective, but it functions strictly as a noun in Cantonese.
