Is the security scan harmful to my health?
The security scan does not entail any health risks. Unlike certain medical scanners, the machine does not use X-ray technology. Anyone, therefore also pregnant women and people with a pacemaker, as well, can be checked with the security scan without any health-related risks.
TNO has performed an investigation into any health-related effects of the security scan. The level of intensity of the security scan is more than 6,000 times lower than the standard level of intensity that is considered safe by both the Health Council of the Netherlands and according to European regulations in the field of public health.
