What is an acceptable EMF level?
Magnetic fields for occupational exposures should be limited to less than 0.5 mT (5 gauss or 5,000 mG). Should I be worried about my exposure to EMF? The scientific information which exists doesn’t indicate that exposure levels which are commonly encountered have any health effect which requires corrective action.
What is a normal EMF reading?
< 1 V/m – No Concern. 1-5 V/m – Slight Concern. 5-50 V/m – Severe Concern. < 50 V/m – Extreme Concern.
What is the safe RF levels for humans?
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
What is a safe level of EMF mG?
EMF guidelines 2,000 mG for the general public and 10,000 mG for occupational settings, International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, updated 2010, see tables 3 and 4 .
What are New Zealand’s electromagnetic radiation standards?
New Zealand’s electromagnetic radiation standards are based on ICNIRP guidelines, known as Standard NZS 2772.1:1999. Included in the Standard are RF limitations, covering the range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz (the upper limit for 5G). However, the Standard is not cited in legislation, and thus has no formal legal status, much like Canada’s code.
What do we know about electromagnetic fields (EMF)?
Biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been investigated for many years. Exposure standards have been developed internationally, that provide adequate protection against all known adverse effects of exposure to EMF. The guidelines developed by the International Commission …
Are there specific EMF standards and limits across countries?
While getting into specific EMF standards and limits across countries is quite complicated and confusing, there are some big-picture comparisons that can be made.
Which countries have introduced exposure standards for RF radiation?
Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium have created exposure standards “specifically intended to minimise (sic) the yet unknown risks” of Radio Frequency (RF) and lower-frequency electromagnetic fields.
