How is it guaranteed that the health of passengers, crew and security guards is not jeopardised during the use of the security scan?

The security scan, as in use at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, uses millimetre wave technology. Passengers are not exposed to X-rays. Scanning with the millimetre wave technology presents no health-related risks. This has been confirmed by research performed by TNO.
