Ionizing and Non-ionizing Radiation [PDF]
, 2017 This chapter describes ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, ways to measure it in the environment, describes the potential health effects from chronic and acute exposures as well as a discussion addressing pregnancy concerns. Background radiation from both sources are described in relation to occupational or public exposure limits and how ...

Abstract Ionizing radiation has long been recognized as a serious hazard to human health. Cancer is the best studied consequence of radiation exposure. Radon is a major source of radiation exposure for children in the home. Most types of cancers are increased by exposures to ionizing radiation. Children are generally at greater risk than
