Electromagnetic Radiation Protection - Safety Measures
Electromagnetic Radiation Protection FAQ
What is radiation protection?
Radiation protection, also known as radiological protection, is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the means for achieving this".
What is Radiological Protection?
Radiological Protection is the protection of people and the environment from harmful effects of exposure to i onising and non-ionising radiation and the means for achieving this. Ionising radiation is widely used in industry and medicine, and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue.
What is EMF protection?
EMF protection is not about eliminating all EMF exposure—that would be almost impossible in today’s world. Instead, it’s about understanding our exposure and taking steps to minimize it where possible, thus reducing potential health risks. Fortunately, there are several strategies available for EMF protection.
How can you protect yourself from EMF radiation?
To protect yourself, your family, and your pets, you really need to start taking action towards reducing EMF exposure in your home, workplace, and community. There are a number of non-specific symptoms that have been associated with EMF radiation exposure.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation has been around since the birth of the universe; light is its most familiar form. Electric and magnetic fields are part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation which extends from static electric and magnetic fields, through radiofrequency and infrared radiation, to X-rays.
What are electric and magnetic fields in ELF radiation?
Electric and magnetic fields join as one field in most forms of radiation. The result is called an electromagnetic field (EMF). But the electric and magnetic fields in ELF radiation can act independently. So we use the terms “magnetic field” and “electric field” to refer to these two different fields in ELF radiation.
Are radiofrequency electromagnetic fields carcinogenic to humans?
In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Dielectric heating from electromagnetic radiation can create a biological hazard.
What is the International Commission on non ionizing radiation protection?
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Review of scientific evidence on dosimetry, biological effects, epidemiological observations, and health consequences concerning exposure to high frequency electromagnetic fields (100 kHz to 300 GHz). Munich: International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection; 2009.
