In a world increasingly reliant on technology, a pressing question arises: can our dependence on gadgets, particularly mobile phones, be affecting our health in unexpected ways? A growing body of ...

Non-ionising radiation (NIR) is the term used to describe the part of the electromagnetic spectrum covering two main regions. Firstly, optical radiation (ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared) and ...

Non-Ionizing radiation is a radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum with the inability to remove an electron from an atom (Ionize). The University of Massachusetts Lowell has a non-ionizing ...

UV radiation is invisible to the eye and it is non-ionizing form of radiation in the 100 nm to 400 nm wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV radiation is arbitrarily divided into UV-A ...

Ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold carcinogen. However, quantifying the risk of the more commonly encountered low and/or protracted radiation exposures remains problematic and ...

Radiation can be defined as energy traveling through space. There are two types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing, which are differentiated by how they interact with matter. Non-ionizing ...

Examples are gamma rays, x-rays, CAT scans and ultraviolet light. In contrast, non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to alter the electron structure; however, it may be harmful ...

In contrast, ionizing radiation can impair the normal functioning of the cells or even kill them ... prompted the formation of a number of expert bodies to consider what is needed to be done. In 1928, ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Innoblative Designs' investigational device exemption (IDE ...

Non-medical imaging is the screening of humans for purposes other than medical diagnosis, medical treatment or biomedical research. These procedures are frequently used, but the public may not always ...

The University has a clear policy and extensive guidance for working with ionising radiation. All radioactive sources, waste and workers are monitored, recorded and managed by Safety and Health ...
