It's important to differentiate between RF radiation and ionizing radiation when addressing this question. Here's a breakdown:
FCC Limits (RF Radiation):
* The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sets limits for radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure.
* For cell phones and similar devices, the limit is expressed as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
* The FCC's SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over 1 gram of tissue.
* This limit is designed to protect against the heating effects of RF energy.
Radiation from Other Sources:
* Nuclear Reactors:
* Nuclear reactors produce ionizing radiation, which is a different type of radiation than RF.
* Regulations for ionizing radiation from nuclear facilities are set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
* These regulations focus on limiting exposure to gamma rays and neutrons, which are forms of ionizing radiation that can damage DNA.
* Exposure limits are measured in units like millisieverts (mSv).
* Airplanes:
* Airplanes, especially during high-altitude flights, expose passengers and crew to increased levels of cosmic radiation, which is also ionizing radiation.
* The level of exposure depends on factors like altitude, flight duration, and latitude.
* Regulatory bodies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) monitor and provide guidance on cosmic radiation exposure.
* Boats:
* Generally, boats do not produce significant levels of radiation.
* However, boats equipped with certain types of equipment (like radar) may emit RF radiation, which falls under FCC regulations.
* High Buildings (like the US Capitol):
* High buildings themselves do not produce significant radiation.
* However, they may house communication equipment that emits RF radiation, which is regulated by the FCC.
* Also, due to the altitude of the building, there would be a very slight increase in cosmic radiation, but it is not a significant increase.
* Buildings that contain certain medical equipment, or other specialized equipment, could produce ionizing radiation, but those cases would be regulated by the NRC, and other governing bodies.
Key Differences:
* RF radiation (from cell phones, etc.) is non-ionizing.
* Radiation from nuclear reactors and cosmic radiation are ionizing.
* These different types of radiation are regulated by different agencies and measured in different units.
I hope this helps clarify the distinctions.
