In this episode Robert Blackley, Senior Health Physicist and
Radiation Services Manager at ANSTO returns to discuss non-ionising
radiation with host Mark Reggers.
As opposed to ionising radiation, non-ionising radiation is a
source of relatively low-energy radiation that does not have enough
power to ionise atoms or molecules and unable to change the
composition of a substance. Non-ionising radiation is found in a
wide range of occupational environments, although considered less
dangerous, overexposure can pose considerable health risks to
potentially exposed workers if not suitably controlled.
