Determination of Ionized-Nonionized Halogen

Radiation exists in the environment in two forms: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is a form of radiation with less energy than ionizing radiation. Unlike ionizing radiation, non-ionizing radiation does not remove electrons from atoms or molecules of materials including air, water, and living tissue.

Ionizing radiation is a form of energy that acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules of materials including air, water, and living tissue. Ionizing radiation can travel unseen and pass through these materials. It is on the right side of the electromagnetic spectrum. A known example of ionizing radiation is X-rays, which can penetrate the human body and reveal pictures of bones. X-rays are ionizing, meaning they have the unique ability to remove electrons from the atoms and molecules in the matter they pass through. But ionizing activity can change molecules in cells found in the body. This action can lead to the formation of cancer. Intense exposure to ionizing radiation causes skin or tissue damage. Other examples of ionizing radiation are alpha, beta and gamma rays from radioactive decay.

Non-ionizing radiation is defined as a series of energy waves consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields traveling at the speed of light. Low-frequency radiation consisting of ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio frequency and ultra-low frequency are types of non-ionizing radiation. Lasers generally operate in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared frequencies. Non-ionizing radiation is found in a wide variety of occupational environments and can pose a significant health risk to potentially exposed workers if not properly controlled.

Halogen is a chemical element that forms salts when it reacts with metals. Halogen lamps are illuminated by bulbs containing halogen and inert gas. There are five halogens in the periodic table of chemical elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

Halogens are very reactive nonmetals, they react with metals to form ionic salts. For example, sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride. A bright flame is observed in this reaction. All of the compounds formed by halogens with metals are ionic.

Our company also provides ionized-nonionized halogen determination services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
