MEASUREMENT OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS--RF AND MICROWAVE
Authors not listed · 1978
The 1978 American National Standard specifies techniques and instrumentation for measuring potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields from 1 MHz to 100 GHz in both near and far field conditions.
Plain English Summary
Instruments should read average power density, mean squared electric field strength, mean squared magnetic field strength, or energy density. Calibration methods include free-space standard field, guided wave methods, and standard probe method.
Exposure Details
- Power Density
- 10 mW/cm2
- Electric Field
- 200 V/m
Exposure Context
This study used 10 mW/cm2 for radio frequency:
- 1,000Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 16.7Mx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 0.0006 μW/cm²
This study used 200 V/m for electric fields:
- 666.7x above the Building Biology guideline of 0.3 V/m
Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
