  2. Exposure assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_assessment

    Exposure analysis is the science that describes how an individual or population comes in contact with a contaminant, including quantification of the amount of contact across space and time. 'Exposure assessment' and 'exposure analysis' are often used as synonyms in many practical contexts. Risk is a function of exposure and hazard.

  3. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    The spectrum of ice is similar to that of liquid water, with peak maxima at 3400 cm −1 (2.941 μm), 3220 cm −1 (3.105 μm) and 1620 cm −1 (6.17 μm) [14] In both liquid water and ice clusters, low-frequency vibrations occur, which involve the stretching (TS) or bending (TB) of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O–H•••O).

  4. Specific absorption rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate

    In comparison to the short term, relatively intensive exposures described above, for long-term environmental exposure of the general public there is a limit of 0.08 W/kg averaged over the whole body. [2] A whole-body average SAR of 0.4 W/kg has been chosen as the restriction that provides adequate protection for occupational exposure.

  5. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

    Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

  6. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    The transmitted energy can be used to calculate the absorption. The source, sample arrangement and detection technique vary significantly depending on the frequency range and the purpose of the experiment. Following are the major types of absorption spectroscopy: [1]

  7. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    The effects of electromagnetic radiation upon living cells, including those in humans, depends upon the radiation's power and frequency. For low-frequency radiation (radio waves to near ultraviolet) the best-understood effects are those due to radiation power alone, acting through heating when radiation is absorbed.

  8. Doubly labeled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_labeled_water

    When cellular respiration breaks down carbon-containing molecules to release energy, carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. The oxygen atoms in CO 2 exist in equilibrium with the isotopes of oxygen in body water. [6] Therefore if the oxygen in water is labeled with 18 O, then CO 2 produced by

  9. Electromagnetic radiation and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation...

    Since 1962, the microwave auditory effect or tinnitus has been shown from radio frequency exposure at levels below significant heating. [34] Studies during the 1960s in Europe and Russia claimed to show effects on humans, especially the nervous system, from low energy RF radiation; the studies were disputed at the time. [35] [36]
