RF Safety

Also Known As RF Non Ionizing Radiation

RF Exposure Effects on Health Thermal Effects - heating of body tissue, fairly well understood Effects are non-cumulative Areas of particular concern are the eyes and testes - human body does not cool these areas efficiently. Resonant frequency of an adult human whole body ranges from 35 MHz to about 80 MHz. Adult human head is resonant at about 400 MHz Small child's head: about 700MHz.

RF Exposure Effects on Health, Continued Non-thermal effects - cancer, leukemia, immuno-deficiency, etc. Far less understood than thermal effects. Some studies show an elevated risk factor of 1.5x to 2x others indicate no association at all. Compare that to a 10x elevated cancer risk factor for a 1-pack per day smoker. There is no conclusive proof of risk, but no proof that the risk does not exist, so athermal risks remain a controversial topic.

Safe Exposure Levels How much is safe? Several factors are involved: Transmitter power Antenna Gain Coax Loss Duty Cycle Average Key-Up Time Distance from Antenna

Standards are a wonderful thing – Everyone has one! FCC OET65 IEEE C95.1 Canadian Safety Code SC-6 ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)

FCC Exposure Limits

Controlled / Occupational Uncontrolled / General Public
