The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in Qatar has launched a platform called the "Non-Ionizing Radiation Index Level" to educate the public about the analysis of non-ionizing radiation frequencies in the country. The platform provides users with a simple view of indicators for monitoring radiation levels through color-coded graphs. This initiative aims to enhance the protection of people in Qatar from electromagnetic frequencies emitted by electrical installations, radio, television, and cellular networks. The project is part of Qatar's efforts to reduce emissions and ensure air quality within safe limits in accordance with international standards. The Non-Ionizing Radiation Frequency Analysis Unit is responsible for monitoring radiation levels and contributing to the protection and sustainability of the Qatari environment. The platform is the first of its kind in the Gulf region and the Middle East, with 60 fixed stations and 15 portable devices providing high-precision data on radiation levels. Quarterly reports confirm that the levels of non-ionizing radiation in Qatar are very low compared to international standards.
