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.
