In small amounts «they don't do you any harm, but they are very specific and the only thing that can cause them at a certain magnitude is ionizing radiation.»
Most of the harmful radiations are «ionizing radiations» — they have sufficient energy to remove electrons from the orbits of surrounding atoms, causing them to become charged, or «ionized.»
The team used several hundred thousand compute hours at NERSC to produce a series of 2D and 3D simulations that helped them examine the role of dark matter halo photoevaporation — where energetic radiation ionizes gas and causes it to disperse away from the halo — played not just in the early formation of stars but also the assembly of later galaxies.
Radiation exposure is just one cause of this scrambling (Shirley and others 1992, Gorbunova and Levy 1999) and at least 3,000 different mutant plant varieties created by intentional exposure to ionizing radiation are part of the existing food supply (IAEA 2008).

E.g., when trying to explain to someone how microwave «radiation» is an unlikely candidate for causing cancer, I might say that it's rather well understood how low doses of ionizing radiation can cause cancer, and the key part is not «radiation» (which microwaves are) but «ionizing» (which microwaves are not).
The idea is to avoid extra ionizing radiation, especially the kinds coming from nuke plants and nuke weapons and medical xrays, when possible because there is always the chance that they can cause DNA damage.
*** This doesn't apply once you reach the upper atmosphere where high energy radiation (which doesn't penetrate the atmosphere very far) heats it up to thousands of degrees, ionizing it, and even causing weird stuff like the northern and southern lights.
While «ionizing radiation» is strong enough to knock your molecules apart and so cause genetic damage without symptoms, «non-ionizing radiation» can only wiggle your molecules.
Damage / loss caused or liability caused directly or indirectly from radioactive contamination or ionizing radiations from any nuclear power or nuclear waste or materials.
Injury or Disease directly or indirectly caused by or contributed by ionizing radiation or contamination by radioactivity from any nuclear fuel or from any nuclear waste from burning nuclear fuel.
