Delta radiation is a type of radiation which can cause severe neurological damage.

In 2154, Arik Soong and his Augments faked a delta radiation emergency (claiming twelve crewmembers had been exposed) in order to capture the Denobulan vessel Barzai. (ENT episode: "Cold Station 12")

In 2266, Fleet Captain Christopher Pike accompanied a group of cadets on a training cruise on a class J starship when the baffle plate ruptured, flooding parts of the ship with delta radiation. Pike saved the trapped cadets, but exposure to the radiation severely crippled him. (TOS episode: "The Menagerie"; TOS novel: Burning Dreams)
