Radiation Basics
Radiation is one of the ways that energy travels through space or matter. Radiant energy is emitted as either electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles. This energy runs along a continuum on the electromagnetic spectrum on the basis of its wavelength, frequency, or energy. The two major types of radiation—non-ionizing and ionizing—are differentiated by the level…

Non-ionizing Radiation
Non-ionizing radiation is composed of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) that do not have sufficient energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. Types of non-ionizing radiation are: ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave, radio (and television), and extremely low frequency (ELF). Non-ionizing radiation is produced by a wide variety of products in the…
