| Abstract |
Contents of this handbook: basic physics of non-ionizing radiation; biological effects of ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared (IR) radiations (effects on the eye and the skin) and of microwave, radiofrequency (RF), low-frequency (LF) and static fields; limits for UV, visible and IR radiations and for RF, LF static fields. Appendices cover pacemakers, lasers, UV lamps and spectra, and optical quantities and units. |
