A coherent framework for non-ionising radiation protection

January 22, 2022
Rick Tinker et al 2022 J. Radiol. Prot. 42 010501 Abstract A coherent and overarching framework for health protection from non-ionising radiation (NIR) does not currently exist. Instead, many governments maintain different compliance needs targeting only some NIR exposure situations. An international framework developed by the World Health Organization would promote a globally consistent approach...

Redefining electrosensitivity: A new literature-supported model

January 26, 2021
Mary Redmayne & Siobhan Reddel (2021) Redefining electrosensitivity: A new literature-supported model, Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, DOI: 10.1080/15368378.2021.1874971 ABSTRACT In critically examining literature on electrohypersensitivity and the reported somatic responses to anthropogenic modulated radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure, it becomes apparent that electrohypersensitivity is one part of a range of consequences. Current evidence on the necessity of considering patients’ overall health...

ICNIRP: GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE RELEVANT TO THE “GUIDELINES FOR LIMITING EXPOSURE TO TIME-VARYING ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (1 HZ–100 KHZ)”

April 7, 2020
PUBLISHED IN: HEALTH PHYS 118(5):533–542; 2020 Abstract—Sources of low-frequency fields are widely found in modern society. All wires or devices carrying or using electricity generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electric fields (EFs) and magnetic fields (MFs), but they decline rapidly with distance to the source. High magnetic flux densities are usually found in the vicinity...
