How is Exposure to Non-Ionizing Radiation Measured?
Exposure to non-ionizing radiation is measured using various units, depending on the type of radiation. For radio waves and microwaves, [power density]() is commonly used, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). For UV radiation, the [UV Index]() is a standard measure of the strength of sunburn-producing UV radiation at a particular place and time. Specialized instruments like [spectroradiometers]() and [dosimeters]() are used to quantify exposure levels.
