Abstract

Nonionizing radiation cannot ionize the human body tissues due to its low energy; however, its thermal, mechanical, chemical, vibrational, and several other effects can create complications. To avoid hazards and complications from nonionizing radiation, it is mandatory to establish and follow proper rules and regulations while dealing with such radiation. This chapter reports an overview of various rules and regulations regarding the uses and limits of nonionizing radiation, provided by various organizations.
