Radiofrequency radiation activities and issues: a 1986 perspective

Health Phys. 1987 Dec;53(6):607-11. doi: 10.1097/00004032-198712000-00003.

Abstract

Current activities and issues related to radiofrequency (RF) radiation are discussed. They include a summary of environmental exposure levels as well as federal and other activities related to the control of exposure to RF radiation. An overview is given of the biological effects (thermal, athermal and non-thermal) and the limitations in our knowledge of these effects. Resources for continued research on health effects of RF radiation are discussed.
