Instrumentation for Electromagnetic Fields Exposure Evaluation and its Accuracy

  • Chapter
Electromagnetic Biointeraction

Abstract

Setting the exposure limits to RF and microwave (MW) electromagnetic fields, contained in the safety standards, required a great effort to the scientific community which spent many years working to evaluate biological effects and to accomplish a dosimetry.
