ABSTRACT
Nonionizing radiation (NIR) is a form of electromagnetic radiation and it has varying effects on the body, depending largely on the particular wavelength of the radiation involved. In the following paragraphs, in approximate order of decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency, are some hazards associated with different regions of the nonionizing electromagnetic radiation spectrum. NIR is covered in detail by 29 CFR 1910.97, but not in detail.
