Abstract

Overview

This study meticulously examines the thermal impact of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on a human body model factoring in protective clothing and varying environmental conditions such as high temperature and humidity.

Findings

• A comprehensive simulation exploring the body's thermal response to RF-EMF under adverse conditions.
• Analysis focuses on the bodily response across different setups to ascertain the adequacy of existing RF-EMF safety standards.

Conclusion

Results reveal that environmental factors slightly affect the thermal increase caused by RF-EMF exposure, asserting that the current international safety margin is generally conservative but could be borderline insufficient under extreme environmental conditions. This underscores the need for rigorous scrutiny of safety standards under various operational scenarios.
