Abstract :
In addition to a situation where the use of wireless technology is rapidly advancing, a large variety of new radio-frequency exposure scenarios are being introduced into our daily lives. Most existing radio-frequency exposure guidelines and standards were promulgated during the late 1990s. Many guideline- and standard-recommending organizations are engaged at various stages in revisiting their current guidelines and standards, including review of the scientific evidence concerning exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields and the resulting consequences for health, accumulated since the 1990s.
