Abstract
The applications of Nonionizing radiation (NIR) has increased in recent
years. Safety authorities and the public were concerned about the use of devices that
emit NIR. Questions about acute or chronic effects have subsequently become more
important. According to many studies and experiments carried out, EMF does not
affect the functioning of a living organism, provided that those certain established
acceptable standards are not exceeded. It comprises lower quantum energies and,
therefore, has different biological effects and interactions with matter. It displays its
unique personality, although it shares the same wave characteristics as ionizing
radiation. We can describe this in terms of its frequency, energy, and wavelength. It is
longer, less frequent, and lazier compared to ‘IR’, but it can still inflict a good deal of
damage. This Chapter will cover the effect of NIR interaction with matter, risk
management, and safety associated with its application.
