The IXth International Congress of the Société Francaise de Radioprotection was scheduled for May 22-26, 1978 near Paris to examine risks of non-ionizing radiations.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The congress theme was chosen because rapid growth in medical, industrial, and domestic uses of non-ionizing radiations, especially microwaves and lasers, required better knowledge of their possible effects on people. Papers were to cover specific effects of short or long-term exposures, indirect effects, safety standards, measurement methods, protection measures, and surveillance. Authors had to submit six copies of an abstract by December 1, 1977, and if accepted, send an original manuscript and three copies by February 15, 1978.

Why This Matters

The congress would examine risks from ultraviolet, infrared, laser, microwave radiations, and ultra- and infrasound. French and English were the working languages with simultaneous translation provided throughout the congress.
