Proposed Revisions to ANSI Standard C95.1 for Exposure to Radio Frequency and Microwave Radiations

Abstract

The paper reviews the biological effects resulting from exposure to radio frequency and microwave radiations. The controversy over the relevance of the thermal and nonthermal effects is resolved in the light of present research findings. The quality of ANSI C95.1--Safety Level of Electromagnetic Radiation with Respect to Personnel--is examined. The basic conclusion is that the current guide number is acceptable. Proposals to improve the standard in other ways are made based on recent research.
