Non-ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation which does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. The energy of non-ionizing radiation is only enough to change their rotational, vibrational or electron configuration that causes so-called thermal or non-thermal effects.
Experimental data indicates a high biological activity of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the whole frequency range. In the conditions of long-term impact, the biological effect of EMF is accumulated and may lead to the development of dangerous diseases.
The effect of EMF impact on a living organism depends on the energetic characteristic of the field which is defined by its electric and magnetic component and, also, depends on the duration of the impact. Moreover, this effect is influenced by the character of radiation: if it is (a) continuous, (b) pulsed, (с) pulse-modulated, (d) varying or non-varying in time, (e) local or broad.
The equipment of RREPL allows one to measure the following kinds of non-ionizing radiation:
- electromagnetic field strength in the frequency range:
- from 10 kHz to 30 MHz for the magnetic component from 0.5 to 500 A/m;
- from 100 kHz to 300 MHz for the electric component from 1 to 3*103 V/m;
- from 300 MHz to 39.65 GHz for the energy flux density from 0.32 µW/cm2 to 100 mW/cm2.
- induction of permanent magnetic field in the range:
- from 10-4 to 1 T;
- scattered laser radiation: for continuous laser radiation:
- in the spectral ranges: from 0.49 до 1.15 µm and from 2 to 11 µm;
- in the energy ranges: from 10-6 to 10 W and from 10-4 to 10-1 W;
- in the spectral ranges: from 0.49 до 1.15 µm and from 2 to 11 µm;
- in the energy ranges: from 10-8 to 1 J and from 10-6 до 10-2 J.
The measurements are taken by qualified personnel using only certified equipment in accordance with the techniques approved by the standards of Ukraine.
The following reliable, time-tested equipment is used in work:
- the P3-15 and P3-19 field strength meters;
- the Sh1-8 magnetic induction meter;
- the ILD-2M meter used in laser dosimetry.
