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 ...

The effects of electromagnetic fields on fish

The objective of this paper is to survey the results of studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on fish. First, the basic concepts of electromagnetism and electromagnetic spectrum and the importance of studying it in the case of fish are discussed. Then a summary of the results obtained on the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) and radiofreq...
