Abstract

Overview

The intensifying use of devices that operate in the microwave region raises significant concerns about electromagnetic waves' interactions with biological organisms. This research focused on how human body parts, specifically the head, chest, and belly, absorb these waves.

Findings

  • Measurements were conducted on males aged 26 to 28 evaluating the attenuation of microwaves in the 800 MHz to 6 GHz band.
  • Attenuation levels ranged between 4 dB and 23 dB depending on the body part.
  • The order of absorption from highest to lowest was: chest, belly, and head.

Conclusion

This study's results are crucial for further exploration into the effects of microwave exposure on living organisms and the dynamic interactions within specific environments.
