Radiation and Health Fact Sheets
ARPANSA publishes a comprehensive range of fact sheets on issues relating to radiation and health, the result of extensive research on the subject.
Radiation and Health Information
These fact sheets provide information on issues relating to radiation and health, the result of extensive research on the subject.
Ionising Radiation
There are two types of ionising radiation. One consists of particles (alpha, beta, neutrons) and the other consists of electromagnetic (x-rays, gamma rays) radiation.

Non-Ionising Radiation
Non-ionising radiation consists of electromagnetic radiation ranging from the extremely low frequency (ELF) to the ultraviolet (UV).
