Abstract

Overview

Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are instrumental in the functionality of various modern devices such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. However, these fields can pose health risks at high power levels.

Findings

• The ICNIRP published initial guidelines in 1998 to safeguard human exposure to time-varying EMFs up to 300 GHz, covering the radiofrequency EMF spectrum.
• Recent scientific studies and technological advancements have prompted a significant update to these guidelines, reflecting the evolving understanding of the relation between radiofrequency EMFs and adverse health outcomes.

Conclusion

This document reveals revised guidelines from ICNIRP that aim to protect humans from exposure to EMFs ranging from 100 kHz to 300 GHz, helping mitigate associated health risks.
