Abstract At present the Canadian Federal
Government has no statutory requirements or recommendations with respect to
maximum permissible levels (MPLs) of microwave and
radiofrequency radiations to which either the general public or microwave
workers may be exposed. The purpose of this paper is to present a rationale
for adopting an MPL of 1 mW/cm² (10W/m²) for continuous human exposures.
Higher exposure levels would be permitted for short durations. The bases for
this MPL are outlined and comparisons are made with other national and
international standards. Compliance with an MPL of 1 mW/cm² should not
present major problems. |
