ICNIRP: 9th International Nir Workshop
Seoul, Korea, January 14 – 15 2021 (previously May 7 – 8 2020)
ECC Theater, Ewha Womans University. Address: 52, Ewhayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03760 Republic of Korea
Organizer: International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
Presentation
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is holding its 9th International NIR Workshop at the ECC Theater, Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea, 7-8 May 2020. With the contribution of all ICNIRP members and scientists from the major Korean institutes engaged in NIR research, you will get a comprehensive overview of the newest scientific developments in NIR and the current advice in radiation protection, in particular in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields.
As an introduction the NIR workshop will provide participants with a round about of the main international actors in radiation protection and how they view their different roles in the international protection frame. The three further sessions will be devoted to health protection in the RF, ELF and optical ranges, including topics related to the upcoming NTP validation animal study in Korea, RF cancer epidemiology, mobile phone safety, wireless power transmission, environmental issues related to ELF, and LED safety. The update of the ICNIRP Radio Frequency Guidelines expected for publication at the End of 2019/Start of 2020 will be one of the main foci of the workshop.
