Bioeffects Seen

Finding
The results of the present experiment indicate that x-ray exposure and/or exposure rate meters of the ionization chamber type, though superior for precise radiation measurement, are susceptible to environmental level RF fields.
In their words
“The results of the present experiment indicate that x-ray exposure and/or exposure rate meters of the ionization chamber type, though superior for precise radiation measurement, are susceptible to environmental level RF fields.”
Exposure Details
- Power Density
- 0.07 W/cm² to 13.0 W/cm²
- Electric Field
- 1 V/m
Exposure Context
This study used 0.07 W/cm² to 13.0 W/cm² for radio frequency:
- 1,300,000Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 21,666.7Mx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 0.0006 μW/cm²
This study used 1 V/m for electric fields:
- 3.3x 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.
