Abstract

Based on physical measurements, the letter provides estimates of currents in human subjects exposed to ANSI C95.1-1982 recommended safety levels for RF EM fields. It is shown that such fields are likely to result in high SARs in the leg with values as high as 182 W/kg for the frequency band 3-30 MHz.
