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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dr. Eric van Rongen is vice chair at the International Commission on Non‐Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), the independent scientific body in charge of setting limits on exposure to non ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of non-ionizing radiation. It has many uses at the University of Massachusetts Lowell from sterilization to curing certain glues or plastics. The health effects of UV ...

Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to both organisms and the natural environment. Radiation testers either measure the levels of Ionizing or non-ionizing radiation from Nuclear ...

The ionizing power of gamma rays is low, but they are difficult to stop and travel long distances. The degree to which each different type of radiation is most dangerous to the body depends on ...
