There is continuing debates about "Non-Ionising Radiation" and the safety issues; although more particularly for cell phones and urban emitters rather then DECCA RADAR and DECCA Navigation emitters (note DECCA is the Chinese work for RADAR, comes from the British company that pioneered DECCA navigation). Non-Ionising Radiation is the kind of Radiation that does not strip Ions from bio-chemical bonds unlike other more harmful radiations like Gamma, Nuclear Radiation. RF radiation waves are Non-Ionising, however specific frequencies can be more readily absorb by some parts of the body then others. This is to do with resonant frequencies for body tissues and the one quarter wavelength in the RF wave it self. The rate of absorb-ion is known as the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). The general recommendations are not to stare directly into RF beams or expose soft tissues for very long periods of time and short ranges to the emitters. Some medical practitioners believe that some frequencies have a risk at close ranges for developing cataracts etc. It is also important to understand that RF power lowers as a function of range by a "range squared law", so the power drops off quite quickly with range. Other factors are amount of exposure you receive (long term) and the frequency and power you are being exposed to (the dose). In the RADAR case it is also important to remember that they use high gain antenna, and this means that the radiation is mostly in one direction and much less in others. In the DECCA navigation emitter case the energy level is less power and is more omni directional. The RADAR case's concentrated beams maybe scanned and the RF Power maybe pulsed (not constant). The Radar beams should be arranged to not point directly into inhabitants at close ranges, and the specific range is dependant on the mean power scan rate and range against the frequency. RADARs are arranged in this way. In the DECCA navigation case the RF is Continuous, and given the range of properagation is quite far you would expect the power levels also to be much higher, however the frequency is quite low at 70 - 130 kHz and lower frequency propagate much better then higher ones so the power level can be much less. It is also believed to be much less harmful risk as these frequencies are far away from water and bio-chemical resonates. However, if you work with RF and/or RADAR it is impotent to remember that repeated exposure can harmful and that the Microwave Oven was discovered by a scientist that melted a chocolate bar in is pocket because it was in a radio beam at very close range. I do not now if he suffered as a result of it but I assume the chocolate bar was not consumed.

Is microwave radiation harmful to your eyes?
Exposure to microwave radiation is generally considered safe for the eyes at low levels. However, at high levels, such as near radar equipment or industrial microwaves, it can potentially cause damage to the eyes due to thermal effects. It is always best to minimize exposure to high levels of microwave radiation to protect your eyes.
Can radiation be harmful?
No. It doesn't work by sending out any signals, but only by looking at what is coming at it. Think of it as a transistor radio. If there's a signal on a frequency that you're tuned to, you'll hear that signal. If there's nothing, you hear nothing. And all the while the radio is "just listening" to the air waves - just like the radar detector is "just listening" for any strong signals in the radar bands it is designed to cover. Most smart officers set up in a spot where they can't really be seen until you're right on top of them. And once they see you back up the road and "paint" you with the gun, it's usually too late. Certainly if they paint someone ahead of you, you'll get a warning, but if you're the marked vehicle, you're probably toast. They've got you before you can react to your warning. And officers "pick" their targets knowing that folks behind the target vehicle may have detectors. They don't "shoot blindly" down the road and "warn" other drivers they are there. Is a radar detector harmful? Only in that it provides a relatively false sense of security that you can detect a signal and slow down before you are targeted. That will indirectly encourage you to drive more boldly - drive faster. And that can put you and others at risk.
Does The film badge keep radiation workers safe from radiation?
Not directly, but it allows them to monitor how much dose of radiation they have received over a period of time, so they can look at it and check they haven't received too much dosage.
What is the difference between radiation protection and radiation safety?
Radiation protection focuses on minimizing exposure to radiation to prevent harm to individuals and the environment. Radiation safety, on the other hand, encompasses practices and measures put in place to ensure that radiation sources are properly handled, stored, and used in a safe manner to protect individuals and the public from potential harm.
What type of radiation do bananas emit?
Bananas emit very low levels of radiation in the form of potassium-40, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The radiation levels from bananas are so low that they are considered safe for consumption.
Do radar towers give off any radiation?
Radar towers emit non-ionizing radiation in the form of radio waves. This radiation is considered to be safe for humans in normal levels of exposure but can potentially be harmful at very high levels or with prolonged exposure. Regulations and safety measures are in place to ensure that radar towers do not pose a health risk to the public.
Is microwave radiation harmful to your eyes?
Exposure to microwave radiation is generally considered safe for the eyes at low levels. However, at high levels, such as near radar equipment or industrial microwaves, it can potentially cause damage to the eyes due to thermal effects. It is always best to minimize exposure to high levels of microwave radiation to protect your eyes.
Is it safe to enter Japan after the radiation?
For many years, there was radiation in the air in Japan from the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, Japan is perfectly safe to visit today, with no risk of radiation poisoning.
Are compact fluorescent light bulbs safe to use in terms of radiation exposure?
Yes, compact fluorescent light bulbs are safe to use in terms of radiation exposure. They do not emit harmful levels of radiation that pose a risk to human health.
Can you live in hiroshima and nagasaki?
They are totally rebuild and safe on radiation.
What can one do to be safe from radiation?
To be safe from radiation, one can limit exposure whenever possible by increasing distance from the source, decreasing time spent near the source, and using shielding materials like lead or concrete to block radiation. Following safety procedures and guidelines, wearing appropriate protective gear, and regularly monitoring radiation levels are also important steps to stay safe.
Do rc boat motors release any radiation?
no they do not because it is just a motor. there is no radiation that comes out of rc boat motors. it is completely safe when it comes to radiation, that is.
Is it safe to go near Nuclear Waste?
No. It emits radiation and is very harmfull without a proper Radiation Protective equipment
How much radiation does a computer transformer give off?
none. They are safe.
What kind of does response curve indicates there is no safe does of radiation?
non-threshold
What imaging procedures emits safe levels of radiation?
Ct scan
What safety issues should be considered when dealing with radiation?
Safety issues to consider when working with radiation include proper shielding to minimize exposure, maintaining a safe distance from the radiation source, using appropriate personal protective equipment, and following established radiation safety protocols and guidelines. Regular training and monitoring of radiation levels are also important to ensure a safe working environment.
