Radiation in the environment
Introduction Radiation can be classified as non-ionizing and ionizing . Non-ionizing radiation includes the static, low frequency and radiofrequency parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, as shown, where ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are separated by the visible light .
