Global Non-ionizing Radiation/EMF Detection, Measurement, and Safety Market Likely to be Driven by Growing Use of Electronic and Electrical Devices and Rising Awareness of Possible Effects of non-ionizing radiation
In the recent past, there has been a significant increase in the use of electronic and electrical gadgets in domestic as well as industrial sectors. Consequently, concerns regarding increasing exposure to non-ionizing radiation and its effects have also gained prominence; consumer awareness of possible health effects of exposure to radiation has increased. Also, employees working in organizations or sites where they may be exposed to such radiation are becoming increasingly aware and seek to monitor the levels of radiation to which they are likely to be exposed at work. With increasing use of electronic and electrical devices, the demand for non-ionizing radiation/EMF detection devices is also likely to grow. The different types of non-ionizing radiation/EMF detection devices available include personal monitoring devices, area monitoring devices, and handheld devices. Among these, the handheld devices segment is expected to drive the market. North America and Europe are expected to be key markets.
Non-ionizing radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not possess adequate energy to ionise atoms in biological tissue. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, and regular light are examples of this sort of radiation.
Radiation pervades the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from very high-energy (high-frequency) to very low-energy (low-frequency) on the ends of the spectrum. X-rays, gamma rays and some higher-energy ultraviolet (UV) rays are examples of high energy radiation. Medical equipment such as X-ray imaging machines and CT scans produce low levels of such type of radiation. Such radiation is ionizing, and can affect atoms of cells by ionizing (removing an electron form an atom). Ionizing radiation has been associated with damage to DNA, genetic mutations and cancer.
Extremely low-frequency (ELF) radiation, on the other hand, signifies non-ionizing radiation. While such radiation can make atoms move or vibrate, it not considered to be harmful enough to damage DNA or cells. Between ELF high-energy radiation, other types of non-ionizing radiation exist, such as radiofrequency (RF), visible light and infrared. In most forms of radiation, electric and magnetic fields combine as a singular field, commonly called an electromagnetic field (EMF). Household devices including microwave ovens, cell-phones, hair dryers, Bluetooth devices, computers, as well as power lines, generate this type of radiation.
Applications of Non-ionizing Radiation/EMF Detection Devices Pervade Sectors, and are Expected to Stimulate the Market
Applications of non-ionizing radiation/EMF detection devices include industry (monitoring workers’ exposure to electromagnetic fields in industrial areas, machinery and manufacturing processes), railway (monitoring people’s exposure to electromagnetic fields inside and outside trains, close to communication systems, and in stations), electromedicine (monitoring medical staff’s exposure to equipment), telecommunications (evaluating radiation produced by cell phone systems, broadcasting systems and other communication systems), Radio frequency identification (RFID) and electronic article surveillance (EAS), laboratories and R&d (monitoring radiofrequency equipment), defence (monitoring sources of electromagnetic radiation such as radar stations, satellite equipment, and communication equipment), and energy (evaluating electromagnetic fields associated with supply of electricity, including power stations, power lines, transformers, and electric motors). Thus, applications of non-ionizing radiation/EMF detection devices across sectors is expected to boost the market.
