Non-Ionizing Radiation
The committee's topics are:
- Evaluation of health effects of non-ionizing radiation taking into account physical characteristics, possible interaction mechanisms, especially of ultraviolet radiation, radio waves and microwaves, low-frequency electric and magnetic fields, static fields, ultrasound and infrasound, and laser radiation
- Recommendations on the protection from health effects due to non-ionizing radiation
- Recommendation on the protection of the population from UV radiation (sun, sunbeds, medicine)
- Recommendations on the protection from electromagnetic fields in the environment
- Evaluation of the application of non-ionizing radiation in the medical field in cooperation with the committee on “Radiological Protection in Medicine”
- Evaluation of epidemiological studies on the application of non-ionizing radiation in cooperation with the committee on “Radiation Risk”
- Statements and recommendations on the national implementation of international directives and recommendations (e. g. ICNIRP, WHO, and European committees such as SCENIHR).
