Bookmark or Share- Radiation: Electromagnetic fields - World Health Organization (WHO)The Federal Office for Radiation Safety in Germany recently measured the daily exposure to magnetic fields of about 2000 individuals across a range of occupations and public exposures. All of them were equipped with personal dosimeters for 24 hours. The measured exposure varied widely but gave an average daily exposure of 0.10 µT.
- Radiation and health - World Health Organization (WHO)Radiation is the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or moving subatomic particles. Natural radiation comes from many naturally occurring radioactive materials found in soil, water, air and in the body. Every day, people inhale and ingest forms of radiation from air, food and water.
- Radiation: 5G mobile networks and health - World Health Organization (WHO)Radiation: 5G mobile networks and health. Radiation: 5G mobile networks and health. 5G, or fifth generation, is the latest wireless mobile phone technology, first widely deployed in 2019. 5G is expected to increase performance and a wide range of new applications, including strengthening e-Health (telemedicine, remote surveillance, telesurgery).
- Radiation: The Chernobyl accident - World Health Organization (WHO)According to the UNSCEAR report, the Chernobyl accident caused a number of severe radiation effects almost immediately. Of 600 workers present on the site during the early morning of 26 April 1986, 134 received very high doses (0.8-16 Grey) and suffered from acute radiation sickness. Of those, 28 workers died in the first three months.
- Radiation: Health consequences of the Fukushima nuclear accidentThere were no acute radiation injuries or deaths among the workers or the public due to exposure to radiation resulting from the FDNPS accident. Considering the level of estimated doses, the lifetime radiation-induced cancer risks other than thyroid are small and much smaller than the lifetime baseline cancer risks.
