Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) STANDARDS AT SITES

Approaches for protection standards for ionizing radiation and combustion pollutants.

The question "can the approach used for radiation protection standards, i.e., to extrapolate dose--response relationships to low doses, be applied to combustion pollutants?" provided a basis for discussion. The linear, nonthreshold model postulated by ICRP and UNSCEAR for late effects of ionizing radiation is described and discussed. The utility and problems of applying this model to the effect...

Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation monitoring in Greece

The design, development and operation of a network for the monitoring of the nonionizing electromagnetic radiation in Greece is presented in this paper. Two independent sub-networks, called “Hermes” and “pedion24” have been operating since November 2002 in several areas, and more than 4,000,000 electric field strength measurements have been conducted to date. The measurement results indicate th...

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...
