Abstract :
The rapid expansion of wireless telecommunication service causes a dramatic increment of the amount of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure in our environment (1). Radiofrequency identification (RFID) has recently been introduced to the wireless RF systems. RFID is also widely used in industrial settings and even throughout daily life (1). There are some workers who may used to be exposed to EMF such as RFID during the working hours unavoidably, due to their working condition. Therefore, it needs a study to assess the health risk of EMF for those workers.
