Non-ionizing Radiation

Non-ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation that ranges from extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation to ultraviolet light. Some typical sources of non-ionizing radiation include lasers, microwave ovens, and video display terminals (VDT). However, any electrical appliance or electrical wiring emits ELF radiation.
