Radiation
Radiation is simply energy traveling through space. There are two basic types of radiation:
Non-ionizing radiation
Lower energy radiation that we are exposed to in our everyday lives. Non-ionizing radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and ultraviolet. It surrounds us in everyday life from various sources including cell phones, PDAs, laptops / computers, mp3 players / portable media devices, televisions, and power lines to name a few.
Ionizing radiation
High-energy radiation includes x-rays and gamma rays. This type of radiation can be very dangerous even in small doses; but, luckily, is less prevalent in everyday life. Belly Armor products do not shield against this type of radiation.
