Welcome to the Greek Atomic Energy Commission.

Non-ionizing radiation, known also a electromagnetic radiation, is not capable to cause ionization, but capable to affect the cells electrically, chemically and thermally.

In this category are included:

• the static electric and magnetic fields, as those encountered in the natural environment,
• the low frequency electric and magnetic fields arising in the vicinity of electric power installations,
• the radiowaves and the microwave frequency fields (e.g. radio and television antennas, mobile phones base stations, radar systems),
• the infrared radiation,
• the optical radiation (the visible light),
• the ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
