EMF EXPOSURE LIMITS
Many different EMF exposure limit standards have been published.
Below is a table of some of the published national and international
standards. There are many variables that determine the basis of
these standards, including: EMF frequency, length of exposure,
and affected body part(s). One thing to note is that the IEEE and
most Western European limits are based on the thermal impact of
EMF on the human body, whereas the Russian and Eastern
European limits focus more on dose over extended exposure
periods. For more detail, the sources are listed below.
