5th NIR Workshop
EUR 10,00
Content: Compiled ahead of the Workshop and Symposium this CD contains extensive summaries of the presentations given in Seville and the posters' abstracts presented there. It features lectures by internationally recognized experts in all non-ionizing radiation (NIR) specialties on characteristics, dosimetry, mechanisms of interaction, biology and health effects, standards and protective measures covering all NIR, from static fields to ultraviolet radiation.
Some of the highlights are Mobile Telephones, ICNIRP's Philosophy on NIR protection, NIR Programme of WHO, EMFs and the Precautionary Principle, and Medical Aspects of NIR.
