Abstract
The International Nonionizing Radiation Protection Commission ( ICNIRP) is an independent group of experts with the responsibility to evaluate the state of knowledge about the effects of nonionizing radiation (NIR) on human health and well being and to provide science-based advice and recommendations on protection against harmful effects of NIR that include static electric and magnetic fields, RF waves, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation.
