- Facts About Wearable Technology | Radiation and Your Health | CDC
Wearable technology uses low-powered radiofrequency (RF) and emits a type of non-ionizing radiation
- EMFs In The Workplace (96-129) | NIOSH | CDC
Everyone in our modern society is exposed to the electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) that surround all electric devices Recently, scientific studies have raised questions about the possible health effects of EMFs
- CDC - Publicaciones de NIOSH - Los EMF en el lugar de trabajo (96-129)
DHHS (NIOSH) publicación N º 96-129 1996 Cada persona en nuestra sociedad moderna está expuesta a los campos electromagnéticos (los EMF) que rodean todos los aparatos eléctricos Recientemente, estudios científicos han cuestionado los efectos posibles de los EMF para la salud Esta hoja de datos da respuesta a las preguntas comunes sobre los EMF en el lugar de trabajo Se puede usar esta
- 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
- 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
- Manual for Measuring Occupational Electric and Magnetic Field Exposures
This NIOSH technical document is a reference work for industrial hygienists and researchers who measure occupational exposures to electric and magnetic fields (EMF)
- Preparing for a Radiation Emergency | Radiation Emergencies | CDC
Radiation emergencies may be intentional (e g , caused by terrorists) or unintentional If a radiation emergency occurs, you can take actions to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your pets The best way to protect yourself in a radiation emergency is to get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned
- How to Measure Radiation and Radioactivity
Radiation is energy and is measured to determine a dose rate (sometimes called ambient radiation) and radiation dose (radiation you absorb) Radioactivity is a measure of the amount of radioactive material If you encounter radiation units, equipment, or measurements that you don't understand, ask a radiation safety professional for assistance
