Radio-frequency radiation safety and health: Current standards and their bases for safe human exposure to radio-frequency radiation

摘要

The scenario of a persistent, publicly expressed lack of confidence in radio-frequency (RF) exposure standards pertaining to the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level of humans exposed to RF electromagnetic radiation has been playing in many parts around the world of wireless telecommunications. Several national and international organizations are engaged in examining existing guidelines or maximum permissible exposures for humans. Each of these efforts has convened groups of interested parties to deliberate on the reasons and to decide on guidelines to deem exposure as safe, and, hopefully, to make explicit the philosophy and procedure invoked in the decision-making process.
