NCRP Report No. 119, A Practical Guide to the Determination of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields

NCRP Report No. 119 is intended to constitute a compendium of general knowledge useful to those health and safety professionals concerned with evaluating radiofrequency hazards. It provides a comprehensive collection of information on various radiofrequency radiation sources and a straightforward "how to" guide for estimating the exposures associated with these sources. Major sections of the Report treat the following subjects:

  • basic concepts, including definitions of terms and units
  • procedures for evaluation of exposures
  • instruments and measurement techniques
  • recommended areas for further research and technical or engineering development

Appendices provide a quick reference source for use in assessing the relative significance of exposures from various radiofrequency sources, including a description of methods for performing practical measurements and computations. Explicit examples of exposure surveys for selected common sources are provided.
