ICNIRP statement--Health issues associated with millimeter wave whole body imaging technology.

摘要

A new generation of whole-body image scanners has been installed in many airports and other security checkpoints worldwide. They are capable of detecting weapons or objects made of any type of material that are being worn or are concealed by clothing at a short range or at distances of a few meters, within a defined scanning zone.Active scanners emit electromagnetic waves at frequencies in the tens of gigahertz (GHz or 109 Hz) or the microwave region and form an image by processing the waves scattered by the object or person being scanned. It is noteworthy that scanners designed to passively detect the broadband microwave radiation emitted by the human body do not expose the body to electromagnetic waves.
