Abstraction The non-ionized radiation lingering over the environment has a closed relationship to the development of the civilization. There are many different types of magnetic radiation sources surrounding around our environment. For example, high voltage electricity distributor, transformer, motor, radio station, wireless communication system, computer instrumentations and etc. The frequency range could vary from extremely low to superior high frequency range (30 MHz ~ 3 GHz). Effects of non-ionized radiation to the living tissue have been always a controversial topic. These include electric stimulation, heat and non-heat effect. However, the epidemiologic research reflected that the workers with long-term exposed to medium or low power magnetic fields are significantly related to arrhythmia, pediatric leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumor, breast cancer, unpredictable pregnancy (abortion and abnormal fetus), reduced in semen amount, and behavioral disabilities. Although current research results still cannot prove that a boundary does as a threshold to indicate a harmful factor to human body. Currently, some researches are now focused on epidemiology, mathematical modeling, engineering modeling, data measurement, tissues, cells and genetic points of view, and large-scale investigations on animal practical experiments. They try to find out some useful information and methods to reduce or prevent the potential damage. Per the EPA’s request, we established an information system that provides actual measurement results around the island. The governing authority and individuals with interests can retrieve information of non-ionized radiation in some specific areas. Additionally, we hope the system can cause the general public’s attention toward the non-ionized radiation. Eventually, it can improve the living quality of all the citizens in our country.
