Non-ionizing radiation refers to a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules, meaning it cannot remove tightly bound electrons from their orbits around atoms. As a result, non-ionizing radiation generally poses a lower risk for biological damage compared to ionizing radiation, which includes X-rays and gamma rays. Non-ionizing radiation includes a range of electromagnetic frequencies, such as: 1. **Radio Waves**: Used for communication (e.g.
