Non-ionizing radiation includes the spectrum of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave (MW), radio frequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF). Lasers commonly operate in the ...

A major update was made to the International Nuclear Workers Study (INWORKS), an international epidemiological study of workers in the nuclear sector to assess their risks of cancer and non-cancerous ...

Terahertz waves, known as non-ionizing radiation, can turn into ionization radiation when sufficiently many terahertz photons are focused in space and time. A team led by scientists in Korea and the U ...

Biological indicators of human exposure to ionizing radiation are pertinent to screen large numbers of people potentially exposed to radiation, e.g. after a nuclear accident or a radiological attack.
