Radiation
 Radiation and Health
People come in contact with radiation in both their living and work environments. The cancer effects of ionizing (such as X-rays) and ultra-violet (UV) radiation are well known. Less certain are the potential health effects of low levels of electromagnetic fields from power lines or radio frequencies from the use of cellular telephones.
