Title Proposals for basic restrictions for protection against occupational exposure to electromagnetic non-ionizing radiations - Recommendations of an international working group set up under the auspices of the Commission of the European Communities
Bibliographic information Apr.-June 1991, Vol.VII, No.2, p.77-89. 20 ref.
Abstract Non-ionising radiations considered in these proposals include: static and extremely slowly time-varying electric and magnetic fields (0-1Hz); time-varying electric and magnetic fields (1Hz-100kHz); radiofrequency fields (100kHz-300GHz); infrared and visible radiation; ultraviolet radiation; laser radiation. The biological effects of each type of radiation are described. The measurement methods, basic restrictions and protective measures are also given.
