| Abstract |
This publication, which has been approved as a guide by the American National Standards Committee on Radio-frequency Radiation Hazards, provides a basis for assessing the hazards associated with the initiation of commercial electric blasting caps by radiofrequency (RF) energy. Part I is devoted to the mechanism of RF initiation and the preventive measures to be taken. Part II gives safe distances from commercial RF sources (fixed broadcasting transmitters, mobile transmitters, TV transmitters, and maritime radars), while Part III contains data on common RF sources. |
