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
The Electromagnetic Spectrum: An Overview | Radiation and Your Health | CDC There is a wide range of electromagnetic radiation in nature, and visible light is one example Radiation with the highest energy includes forms like ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays X-rays and gamma rays can remove electrons and cause the atom to become ionized
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
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]
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
Facts About Radiation from Airport Security Screening Radiation exposure from airport security screening The United States uses millimeter-wave technology in airport security scans This form of technology uses low-energy non-ionizing radiation that releases thousands of times less energy than a cell phone The U S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has federal authority to set standards for machines that produce radiation, including millimeter
Facts About Radiation from Air Travel Radiation from air travel comes from cosmic radiation, or radiation from space Cosmic radiation is produced by the stars, including our own sun You would be exposed to about 0 035 mSv (3 5 mrem) of cosmic radiation if you were to fly within the United States from the east coast to the west coast
