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.

Non-Ionizing radiation• Non-Ionizing radiation (NIR) refers to radiative
energy that, instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, has sufficient energy only for excitation.
• The NIR spectrum is divided into two main regions, Optical Radiations and Electromagnetic Fields.
• The Optical can be further sub-divided into ultraviolet, visible, and infra-red
• The Electromagnetic Fields are further divided into radiofrequency (microwave, very high frequency and low frequency radio wave)

Non Ionizing Radiation source
• Non-ionizing radiation originates from various sources:
• Natural origin (such as sunlight or lightning discharges etc.) And
• Man-made (seen in wireless communications, industrial, scientific and medical applications).

Optical Radiations-Sources• The optical radiations are centred around visible light;
those with higher energies are termed UV radiation and those with lower energies IR radiation.
• Sources of UV radiation are the sun, arc welding, oxy-gas welding, sun lamps, lasers (UV), sterilization (germicidal) lamps, low pressure gas discharge lamps, high pressure discharge lamps.
• Sources of IR radiation are from hot processes such as steelmaking, glassmaking, welding, and also lasers (IR). The application of laser as a coherent light source is increasing rapidly.
• Medical applications include UV and neonatal phototherapy, surgical and therapy lasers, physiotherapy heat lamps

Electromagnetic fields-Sources• Microwaves are used in telecommunications,
radar/satellite links, mobile phones, microwave ovens, TV transmitters.
• RF is used in radio communications, visual display units, television sets.
• Extremely low-frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) surround electrical machinery, home appliances, electric wiring, and high-voltage electrical transmission lines and transformers.
• Medical applications include: microwave hyperthermia, therapeutic and surgical diathermy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

proportional to wavelength• Inherent energy defines the transition between
ionizing and non-ionizing radiations

some materials• Vision – very small portion that animals use to
process visual information • Heat – infrared – a little beyond the red
spectrum• Radio waves – beyond infrared• Micro waves• Electrical power transmission – 60 cycles per

UV Radiations-Source
• Sun lightMost harmful UV is absorbed by the atmosphere – depends on altitude
• Fluorescent lamps• Electric arc welding - can damage the eye
(cornea)Sources: Sun, mercury lamps, welding, lasers, pest
control (fly lamps), fluorescent lighting• Target organs: Skin, Eyes, Immune System

Ultra-Violet Interaction

![Page 19: LifeStyle - Non Ionizing Radiation Type & & Biological Effect](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/58a8c37f1a28ab53138b4ee3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ultraviolet Interaction• The near Ultraviolet is absorbed very strongly in the surface
layer of the skin by electron transitions. As you go to higher energies, the ionization energies for many molecules are reached and the more dangerous photoionization processes take place.
• Sunburn is primarily an effect of UV, and ionization produces the risk of skin cancer.
• The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is important for human health because it absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun before it reaches the surface.
• The higher frequencies in the ultraviolet are ionizing radiation and can produce harmful physiological effects ranging from sunburn to skin cancer.

Biological Effect [UV]
• Aging of the skin• Reddening of the skin (erythema)• Skin cancer upon prolonged exposures• Corneal injury • Photosensitization (with some chemicals)• Benefits – Induces production of Vitamin D in
skin

Infrared Radiation• The quantum energy of infrared photons is in the range 0.001
to 1.7 eV which is in the range of energies separating the quantum states of molecular vibrations.
• Infrared is absorbed more strongly than microwaves, but less strongly than visible light. The result of infrared absorption is heating of the tissue since it increases molecular vibrational activity.
• Infrared radiation does penetrate the skin further than visible light and can thus be used for photographic imaging of subcutaneous blood vessels.

cataracts infrared: Easiest to avoid: you can see it & feel it09:06:42 AM 23

heating and information transfer (radio, TV, mobile phones)

Microwaves InteractionThe quantum energy of microwave photons is in the range 0.00001 to 0.001 eV
which is in the range of energies separating the quantum states of molecular rotation and torsion.
The interaction of microwaves with matter other than metallic conductors will be to rotate molecules and produce heat as result of that molecular motion. Conductors will strongly absorb microwaves and any lower frequencies because they will cause electric currents which will heat the material.
Most matter, including the human body, is largely transparent to microwaves. High intensity microwaves, as in a microwave oven where they pass back and forth through the food millions of times, will heat the material by producing molecular rotations and torsions.
