Abstract
A review and comparative analysis of existing or recently proposed standards of permissible exposure of humans to radiofrequency and microwave radiation is presented. The interpretation of the available scientific and epidemiologic data on the effects of such radiation varies widely from country to country. The setting of acceptable exposure standards is also influenced significantly by the differences in the cultural and sociopolitical milieu, in the philosophies of protection guidelines, and in the degree of risk found acceptable. Permissible limits for occupational exposures differ by factors of 20 to 100, and those for the general public by factors of 20. International organizations are assuming an increasing role in the recommending of standards for permissible exposure to RF and MW energy. This international cooperation is making headway toward resolving or reconciling some of the differences in the national views of those exposures.
