Título Occupational exposures to radiofrequency radiation (18-31MHz) from RF dielectric heat sealers
Información bibliográfica Mar. 1982, Vol.43, No.3, p.149-153. Illus. 13 ref.
Resumen The exposure to radiofrequency radiation from dielectric heat sealers for plastics was measured for a group of 82 operators, mostly female, of whom 75% were of child-bearing age. Exposure measurements were made using electric (E) and magnetic (H) field probes. The geometric mean of the maximum measured exposures was ≥200V/m for the E-field and 0.094A/m for the H-field. 55% of the operators were exposed to E-field levels >200V/m and 21% to H-field levels >0.5A/m, the OSHA exposure standards. For the heat sealers evaluated, the frequencies ranged from 18 to 31MHz. The exposure range is sufficiently broad to make these operators adequate candidates for an epidemiologic study of the effects of RF radiation in the 10-100MHz range on reproductive functions.
