An Overview
August 3-5, 2009
Marriott Norfolk Waterside
Norfolk, Virginia
TECH EXAM WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5 at 11:30 AM.
PLEASE MAKE TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY.This 2 1/2 day course
will provide an overview of the increasingly
important area
of nonionizing radiation. The course will cover
three spectral regions (ultraviolet radiation,
radio-frequency
radiation, and extremely low frequency fields)
and one major source of optical radiation (the
laser). Each of these modules will address physical
properties, sources,
biological effects and health hazards, human exposure
guidelines, legal requirements, and instrumentation.
Hands-on
measurements will be performed for ultraviolet
radiation, radio-frequency radiation, and extremely
low frequency
electric and magnetic fields. The laser safety
module will include important calculations of
the nominal hazard zone and optical density. Math
Review and Use of Scientific Calculator will
be presented on Sunday, August 2, 2009 from 2:00
to 4:00 pm.
RADIO-FREQUENCY & ELF ELECTROMAGNETIC
ENERGIES; THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL'S HANDBOOK by
R. Timothy Hitchcock and Robert M. Patterson
will be used as a course textbook.
