 * PUBLICATIONS
   
   As an independent organization, ICNIRP provides scientific information and
   science-based advice on protection from non-ionizing radiations (NIR) through
   a wide range of publications.
   
   All ICNIRP publications are listed here and most of them are available as
   downloads. The ICNIRP guidelines and statements are for free. Other material,
   such as the ICNIRP blue books, can be ordered online via this website.

 * ICNIRP RF EMF GUIDELINES
   
   
   The ICNIRP RF EMF Guidelines (100 kHz-300 GHz) 2020 are published in Health
   Physics and available here. For further explanations read also the additional
   material put together by ICNIRP.

 * MISCONCEPTIONS CLARIFICATION
   
   
   John William Frank recently published an essay in the Journal of Epidemiology
   and Community Health, entitled “Electromagnetic fields, 5G and health: what
   about the precautionary principle?” (doi:10.1136/jech-2019-213595). Among
   other things, that essay included false, unsupported accusations about ICNIRP
   and its members, and used those false claims to paint a misleading picture of
   radiation protection, especially in so far as it relates to 5G. Although
   ICNIRP limits its response to such claims, as it has become apparent that the
   inaccuracies of the essay are being used by community influencers to mislead
   society, ICNIRP submitted a letter of response to the journal to clarify the
   inaccuracies. Given the limited length (400 words) allowed for this response
   by the journal, this focuses only on false claims related to conflicts of
   interest. However, as that represents only a small proportion of the
   inadequacies of the essay, we provide here a more detailed letter of response
   to help provide the radiation safety community with a more balanced
   perspective on radiation safety.

 * ICNIRP
   
   As an independent non-profit organization, the International Commission on
   Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) provides scientific advice and
   guidance on the health and environmental effects of non-ionizing radiation
   (NIR) to protect people and the environment from detrimental NIR exposure.
   
   NIR refers to electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet, light, infrared,
   and radiowaves, and mechanical waves such as infra- and ultrasound. In daily
   life, common sources of NIR include the sun, household electrical appliances,
   mobile phones, Wi-Fi, and microwave ovens.

 * FREQUENCIES
   
   Non-ionizing radiation (NIR) is a generic term used to describe
   electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough photon energy to ionize
   atoms or molecules and, as per its definition, also includes mechanical waves
   (infra- and ultrasound).
   
   Non-ionizing radiation is sub-grouped into frequencies (number of oscillation
   per second) or wavelength bands (distance between two peaks of an
   oscillation). This classification is not always used strictly and might
   differ depending on the information source. ICNIRP uses subcategories of NIR,
   which group frequencies or wavelength bands together, and treats these
   groupings separately in terms of protection.

   EMF (100 kHz - 300 GHz)Infrared (780 nm-1mm)Visible (380-780 nm)UV (100-400
   nm)


 * APPLICATIONS
   
   People are exposed to NIR in naturally occurring situations, for example to
   the magnetic field of the earth and to radiation from the sun. Within the
   last century individual’s NIR exposure has increased through the use of a
   wide array of technological applications that utilise NIR, such as electric
   appliances and communication devices.
   
   ICNIRP expresses its protection recommendation primarily through the ICNIRP
   guidelines related to a specific frequency or wavelength band independently
   from the source. Read here how these recommendations translate for some
   common NIR applications.
