Abstract

Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are used to enable a number of modern devices, including mobile telecommunications infrastructure and phones, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. As radiofrequency EMFs at sufficiently high power levels can adversely affect health, ICNIRP published Guidelines in 1998 for human exposure to time-varying EMFs up to 300 GHz, which included the radiofrequency EMF spectrum. Since that time, there has been a considerable body of science further addressing the relation between radiofrequency EMFs and adverse health outcomes, as well as significant developments in the technologies that use radiofrequency EMFs. Accordingly, ICNIRP has updated the radiofrequency EMF part of the 1998 Guidelines. This document presents these revised Guidelines, which provide protection for humans from exposure to EMFs from 100 kHz to 300 GHz. Health Phys. 118(5):483–524; 2020. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).

2. Proposed maximum permissible exposure limits for ultrashort laser pulses

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Recent studies have provided considerable ED50 data for both visible and near infrared wavelengths from single laser pulses below one nanosecond of exposure. The current ANSI Z136.1 standard doesnot offer an approved maximum permissible exposure limit for subnanosecond single laser pulses and the current suggested maximum permissible exposure limit may be overly conservative. Lacking an approved standard industrial, medical, educational, and military uses of these types of laser systems may be limited or prohibited. A new set of laser maximum permissible exposure limits for subnanosecond visible and near infrared single laser pulses is recommended, along with the stepstaken to develop the proposed standard.

3. Radioactive sealed source accountability--a risk based approach

Author

Lee, David W. and Shingleton, Kathleen L.

Subjects
RISK assessment, RADIATION protection, RADIOACTIVE substances
Abstract

This paper provides a risk-based approach for establishing thresholdaccountability values for radioactive sealed sources based on current scientific information and realistic assumptions. Although this paper focuses specifically on accountability thresholds, the methodologyprovided can be easily modified to determine risk-based exemption and licensing thresholds.
