| | HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RFR: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW PERTINENT TO AIR FORCE OPERATIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Terms such as "safety standards" and "exposure standards" generally refer to, and are frequently used interchangeably with, specifications or guidelines on maximum permissible exposure levels to electromagnetic fields for the general public or for those in occupations and/or in working areas where they may be periodically exposed to higher than background levels of such fields. |
 | | For exposure of segments of the general population to RFR as a possible deleterious factor, however, exposures (especially the intensity levels and durations) vary widely with time for each individual and are highly variable from person to person. |
 | | The authors concluded that prolonged occupational exposure to microwaves did not affect the health status of the radar workers, and that their subjective complaints may be attributed to the specific occupational factors at the radar stations, such as noise, peculiar lighting, inadequate ventilation, and attention to the radar screen. |
