Non ionizing radiation

Non-ionizing radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules—that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. Instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, the non-ionizing radiation has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state.

Effects of non-ionizing radiation

The research so far, clam to have good reason to be concern from of non-ionizing radiation effects on our body and health. It seems that non-ionizing radiation spectrum of effects on the human body, from the proven thermal effects mainly related to tissue warming, and estimated long-term effects, including damage to the immune system , affect brain wave activity , depression , headaches and increased risk of various types of cancer morbidity . Many studies showed a clear link between these damages and exposure to non-ionizing radiation (such as that disseminated cellular antennas and power lines).

Although non-ionizing radiation has been classified by the International Association of Cancer Research possible carcinogenic to humans (Possibly carcinogenic to humans).
it is already clear that even in the absence of scientific consensus is preferable caution over excessive complacency, and of course that is true and correct application of the " precautionary principle " is essential to the proper protection of the public from non-ionizing radiation effects.
