Health Effects of Nonionizing Radiation
Medical Clinics of North America, 1990Electromagnetic energy in the microwave and radiofrequency bands can produce biologic effects, which are predominantly thermal. During therapeutic use under medical supervision, desired biologic effects are produced and potentially injurious effects minimized.

Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation
2003Abstract Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from sources in space and from anthropogenic sources on earth. It travels at a constant speed, i.e., the speed of light. The overall electromagnetic spectrum is illustrated in Figure 10–1. Energy is transmitted as a sinusoidal wave form, by time varying electric and magnetic fields.

Effects of nonionizing radiation on birds
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19881. With the ability to fly comes a greater probability of direct irradiation by nonionizing radiation. The effect of nonionizing radiation on birds is, therefore, of environmental significance. 2. Most biological effects of exposure to nonionizing radiation in avian species are a result of radiation-induced temperature increases. 3.

Clinical Aspects of Nonionizing Radiation
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1972Various types of human injury attributable to nonionizing radiations are presented. Because of the unique combination afforded by the optical qualities of the eye and by the differential diagnostic features of resultant ocular pathology, an ophthalmological examination frequently can provide the signature indicating whether visible or invisible ...

TRANSMITTANCE OF NONIONIZING RADIATION IN HUMAN TISSUES*
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1981Abstract— Spectral transmittance of 400–865 nm radiation through various human structures, including the skull with scalp, the chest wall, abdominal wall and scrotum, is presented. There is essentially no visible light of wavelengths shorter than 500 nm transmitted through the chest or the abdominal wall.

Nonionizing Radiation Around Linear Accelerators
Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 1995Abstract The World Health Organization, the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists have recommended using time-weighted and time-dependent standards for nonionizing radiation exposure assessment.

Nonionizing Radiation Safety and Regulations
2023Nonionizing radiation cannot ionize the human body tissues due to its low energy; however, its thermal, mechanical, chemical, vibrational, and several other effects can create complications. To avoid hazards and complications from nonionizing radiation, it is mandatory to establish and follow proper rules and regulations while dealing with such ...

Nonionizing Radiation Aspects of Optical Fiber Manufacturing
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1984Evaluation of the spectral distribution of the electromagnetic emissions from a system composed of a hydrogen-oxygen torch and a glass tube, used in the manufacturing of glass rods from which optical fibers are drawn, indicated levels in the visible and infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that necessitated a specific type of eye protection
