Abstract

Overview

This article reviews recent standardization activities and scientific studies focusing on the assessment of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). It covers various components including the rationale of current exposure standards, and the assessment of new technologies and environmental EMFs.

Findings

• Exploration of human body modeling and tissue dielectric properties.
• Examination of the standardization processes for product compliance with EMF exposure standards.
• Discussion on the impact of wireless power transfer and recent advancements in EMF exposure from medical systems such as MRIs.
• Insights into safety measures for high exposure scenarios.
• Analysis of novel measurement methods using medical imaging technologies.

Conclusion

The study summarizes the necessity for ongoing research in EMF safety, particularly with the advent of new technologies such as 5G/6G. It stresses the importance of establishing realistic and conservative exposure limits to ensure safety across all frequencies, emphasizing the role of international standardization in achieving this goal.
