Definition
Non-Ionizing radiation includes all kinds of electromagnetic (elmg.) radiations with frequencies < 1015 Hz and wavelengths = 10-8 - 104 m. i.e. ultraviolet radiation UV- light ,Visible light, Infrared radiation IR-light, Microwaves, Long ,Medium, Short, and Ultra-short radiowaves). J These elmg. radiations never create electrically charged IONS (cations+ and anions-) when targeting atoms or molecules.

Classification: UVA- long wave,black-tanning light = 315 - 400 nm UVB- medium wave,inflamatory = 280 - 315 nm UVC- short wave,killing germs = 100 - 280 nm (comes only from artificial sources) Earth is targeted from Sun by UVA (90%) and UVB (10%) lights. 90% of UVB is absorbed by O3 and O2 Ozone O3 and O2 lower the intensity of UVA and UVB lights and totally absorb UVC light Ozone holes- increase a level of UV radiation!
Skin: Erythema- early red coloured skin inflammation(appears after 2-3 hours) Tanning (delyed pigmentation, because production of melanine.( it starts approx. 24- 48 hours after exposure) Vitamine D production Skin Aging (Wrinkles, Dry skin, Skin cancermelanoma)
