A STATUS REPORT ON, AND A COMPARISON OF U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL RF/MICROWAVE RADIATION STANDARDS/GUIDELINES-DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Zory R. Glaser, Robert F. Cleveland, Jr., P. Czerski · 1982
The presentation summarizes and compares U.S. and international efforts to develop RF/microwave radiation exposure guidelines.
Plain English Summary
Considerable effort has been expended in the past five (or so) years to update or develop guidance for occupational and public exposure limits for RF/microwave radiation. U.S. groups involved include OSHA, NIOSH, BRH, ANSI, DOD, ACGIH, FCC, EPA, NCRP, and various state and local governments. International efforts include the International Non-ionizing Radiation Committee, WHO, UNEP, ILO, the Commission of European Communities, and numerous countries. The presentation will discuss health protection rationale, the populations to which the effort is directed, considerations of medical surveillance, and administrative and engineering controls.
Why This Matters
The work was presented at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Bioelectromagnetics Society in Los Angeles, CA, June 28-July 2, 1982. The authors are from the Bureau of Radiological Health and the Federal Communications Commission.
