If pushed from a height into a liquid, as the [[Fifth Doctor]] was during a scuffle in the reactor room of [[Sea Base 4]] when a guard was fighting him on a gangway over the cooling tank, a Time Lord body was capable of protecting them, sealing up the lungs to conserve air for a short period.

[[X-ray|Röntgen radiation]] affected Gallifreyans so minimally that Gallifreyan children were routinely given radioactive toys in the nursery. They could, at will, absorb very high doses of Röntgen radiation, transform it into a form harmless to humans, and expel it from their bodies. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') [[Radiation]] of other kinds could be fatal, but even then a Gallifreyan could handle much higher doses than a normal human could, and could hold out much longer than even most terrestrial life-forms, ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') although a unique form of radiation around the [[Lakertyan System]] was only fatal to Time Lords while being harmless to humans.
