Human Safety from Electromagnetic Fields by Distinguished spkr Prof. Akimasa Hirata

Safety concern for exposure to electromagnetic fields are prevalent in society. The adverse health effect due to electromagnetic field has been summarized in documents of World Health Organization. To protect the humans from electromagnetic fields, a two-tier approach has been applied in our daily life. First, the exposure standards are developed based on the threshold of adverse health effect. The limit of induced physical quantities in the human body, such as induced electric field and specific absorption rate (SAR), are derived considering the amount of reduction (safety) factor. The safety of the products should be assessed following the method of product standards. In this lecture, the relationship between these two types of standards is discussed including the rationale from engineering viewpoint from extremely low frequencies to millimeter waves. Recent standardization related to 5G wireless communications system is also summarized. In addition, the research necessity in this research field is mentioned.
