  Electromagnetic Fields
Through the use of certain technologies – e. g. power supply network and mobile communication – electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields are generated in man´s environment. These fields can be described by their strength (amplitude), their oscillation (wave length) and number of oscillations (frequency). One differentiates high-frequency and low-frequency fields, they are part – as is optical radiation – of non-ionising radiation. In contrast to ionising radiation – e. g. X-rays – the energy of this radiation is not sufficient for charging atoms and molecules electrically – for ionising them. Nevertheless can this type of irradiation have impacts on health. Different concepts serve to protect against immediate hazards and as precaution.

Radiation Protection Aspects Regarding Full-body Scanners
|
|
|
The implementation of novel full-body scanners is planned for security control mainly at airports. Such devices are tested or already routinely used at some airports. The images being produced exhibit with more or less details the body surface and visualise every object worn directly at the body. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) provides a first evaluation.
