Recommended Safety Procedures for the Installation and Use of Radiofrequency and Microwave Devices in the Frequency Range 10 MHz-300 GHz. Safety Code-6

摘要

Studies of possible hazards to human health from exposure to radio frequency and microwave radiation show that there is a need for controls. Exposure to high levels of radio frequency and microwave radiation over prolonged periods can cause adverse health effects. The type and extent of injury depend not only on the intensity (strength) of the field and the exposure duration but also on various other factors such as the frequency of the radiation, type of modulation, polarization, and distance from the source.
