USA Standard Safety Level of Electromagnetic Radiation with Respect to Personnel

Unknown authors · 1967

The standard recommends a radiation protection guide of 10 mW/cm² for electromagnetic radiation from 10 MHz to 100 GHz averaged over any 0.1-hour period. The guide applies to both continuous and intermittent radiation and covers whole-body and partial-body exposure. Radiation at a power level tenfold smaller than the guide is considered to have no noticeable effect, while radiation tenfold larger is considered certainly dangerous.

Determination of Electromagnetic Heating Patterns in Human Tissues by Thermographic Studies on Phantom Models

A. W. Guy, J. F. Lehmann · 1967

Researchers built phantom models from epoxy resins loaded with carbon and titanium dioxide powder that matched the geometry, dielectric constant, and electrical conductivity of human tissue structures. The models were pre-cut, reassembled, exposed to electromagnetic energy for five to thirty seconds, then quickly disassembled so temperature patterns could be recorded with a Sierra Philico thermograph camera. Thermograms of a model with stratified fat and muscle layers exposed to 750 mc energy showed reduced heating in the fat layer and intense heating in the muscle near the fat-muscle interface. The measured temperature distributions closely matched theoretical heating curves except for rounding of extreme nulls and peaks due to conduction effects.
