HHE Report No. HETA-2009-0171-3119, Evaluation of ElectromagneticField . . . The ICNIRP reference levels for time-varying EMF (up to 300 Hz) are based on short-term, immediate health effects such as stimulation of peripheral nerves and muscles, shocks and burns caused by touching conducting objects, and elevated tissue temperatures resulting from absorption of energy during exposure to EMF [ICNIRP 1998]
Facts About Cell Phones and Your Health Yes – cell phones and cordless phones use radiofrequency (RF) radiation to send signals RF radiation is different from other types of radiation (like x-rays) that we know can be harmful We don’t know for sure if RF radiation from cell phones can cause health problems years later The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF radiation as a “possible human
Signs and Symptoms of Radiation Exposure Short-term health effects of radiation exposure and contamination include Acute Radiation Syndrome and Cutaneous Radiation Injury If you experience symptoms of Acute Radiation Syndrome and Cutaneous Radiation Injury after a radiation emergency, seek medical attention as soon as it is safe Medical professionals will determine if treatments are needed
Potassium Iodide (KI) | Radiation Emergencies | CDC Potassium iodide (KI) Potassium iodide (KI) is a type of iodine that is not radioactive It can be used to help block one type of radioactive material, radioactive iodine, from being absorbed by the thyroid In some radiation emergencies, radioactive iodine may be released into the environment and enter the body through breathing or eating This is known as internal contamination The thyroid
About Non-Ionizing Radiation | Radiation and Your Health | CDC Overview Radiation exists all around us, from both natural and manmade sources, and is in two forms: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation Ionizing radiation is a form of energy that acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules of materials These materials include air, water, and living tissue Ionizing radiation can travel unseen and pass through these materials
