80 keV (125 times less than permitted) With additional safety aspects we furthermore guarantee the absolutely safe use of our X-ray systems in the inspection of products in the food sector: - We only use low - energy, soft X-rays - X-ray voltage and current are individually adapted for every product - The X-ray tube is hermetically shielded - All the radiation protection covers are monitored by safety switches - X-rays can only be turned on if the system functions perfectly

Terahertz radiation is also low energy, so if they are used to scan people, the waves are less dangerous than x-rays or microwaves.

By increasing the humidity, the solar energy is used more efficiently, or putting it another way there is less energy lost to space by the emission of longwave radiation because humid air has a strong greenhouse effect.

The back - radiation explanation of the greenhouse effect that people used to prefer until recently is less satisfactory because it has the kinds of problems I pointed out 16 months ago in an article on this blog, which was received at the time with only slightly more enthusiasm than Galileo's heliocentric account of planetary motions: at least no one suggested I be placed under house arrest for it!
