Non-ionizing radiation refers to any type <strong>of</strong> radiation that does not carry enough energy<br />

to ionize atoms or molecules. These are represented in the electromagnetic spectrum by<br />

waves <strong>of</strong> longer wavelength (lower frequency).<br />

Examples include UV (ultraviolet) light, radio waves, microwaves, visible light. This does<br />

not mean that these <strong>for</strong>ms <strong>of</strong> radiation have no physical effects, but rather that they don’t<br />

produce their physical effects (e.g. activating cells in the retina to transmit signals<br />

interpreted by the brain as sight <strong>for</strong> the visible light spectrum) via the highly injurious<br />

method <strong>of</strong> ionization.<br />
