International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection

Use of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) for diagnostic purposes allows non-invasive assessment of the structure and function of the human body and is widely employed in medical care. ICNIRP has published previous statements about the protection of patients during medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but diagnostic methods using other forms of NIR have not been considered. This statement review...

International commission on non-ionizing radiation protection.

The rapid development of technologies using static magnetic fields particularly in medicine has resulted in an increase in human exposure to very high static magnetic fields. ICNIRP is the internationally recognised body that sets guidelines for protection against adverse health effects of non-ionizing radiation including static magnetic fields. It has recently published guidelines on limiting ...

When the radiation source is under control contaminated areas may remain. Authorities will often implement all necessary protective measures to allow people to continue to live there rather than abandoning these areas. In this case the Commission continues to recommend choosing reference levels in the band of 1 to 20 mSv per year, with the long-term goal of reducing reference levels to 1 mSv pe...
