Nonionizing Radiation Machines (Lasers)
The Florida Department of Health regulates high-power laser devices, which can start fires or cause
severe burns and blindness if misused.
The department currently has registered more than 3,000 lasers at over 800
facilities, including hospitals, universities, industrial plants, doctors' offices, and
laboratories.
The Department also answers inquiries about other nonionizing radiation sources
such as ultraviolet lamps, microwave ovens, TV and radio antennas, cellular antennas, and
electromagnetic fields.
