Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz). guideline

By: International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)

Published in: Health Phys 1998; 74 (4): 494-522

The main objective of this publication is to establish guidelines for limiting electromagnetic field exposure that will provide protection against known adverse health effects.
A general review is given for following issues: epidemiological and experimental biological medical studies (cancer risk, childhood leukaemia, reproductive outcome)
