It is expected that in the near future, devices that emit radiation will be used more frequently as we move towards sending signals to home equipment such as dishwashers, ovens, heaters and home security. This bulletin aims to make you aware of the potential dangers from radiation and what you can do to avoid excessive exposure. Types of electromagnetic radiation are mains power, AM and FM radio transmissions, PVC welding, television, mobile phones, microwave ovens, communication towers, ARC welding, radar and lasers. The Australian radiofrequency radiation standard AS2772 is too high and is currently being revised. There is no Australian standard for extremely low frequency radiation.
Radiation is everywhere.
Even the sun emits radiation. Don t be so paranoid. General population exposure to man-made sources of radiation now exceeds that from natural sources. The substantial increase in radiation levels is causing considerable concern over the likely health effects known to be caused by electromagnetic radiation. There is no proof that radiation is harmful.
