This paper presents an efficient implementation of different techniques used in the computation of averaged Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The main purpose of this work is to enhance the accuracy and speed in the prediction of SAR averaged values regarding highly detailed human models, which present a highly inhomogeneous medium. Following the recommendations of IEEE and ICNIRP standards, thre...

Several reports supported that continuous exposure to 60 Hz magnetic field (MF) induces testicular germ cell apoptosis in vivo. We recently evaluated durationand dose-dependent effects of continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF on the testes in mice. BALB/c male mice were exposed to a 60 Hz MF at 100 μT for 24 hours a day for 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks, and at 2, 20 or 200 μT for 24 hours a day for 8 weeks....

It is not widely known that biological and health effects of radiofrequency (RF) energy have been studied for about 50 years. Currently, there are about 1500 published studies related to RF health research, covering various disciplines from biophysics to epidemiology, usually defined as bioelectromagnetics research. All these studies can be found at WHO EMF database (http://www.who.int/peh-emf/...

As the mobile telecommunication systems are tremendously growing allover the world then the numbers of handheld and base stations are also rapidly growing and it became very popular to see these base stations distributed everywhere in the neighborhood and on roof tops which has caused a considerable amount of panic to the public in Palestine concerning wither the radiated electromagnetic field ...

Short-wavelength visible light (blue light) of the Sun has caused retinal damage in people who have stared fixedly at the Sun without adequate protection. The author quantified the blue-light hazard of the Sun according to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines by measuring the spectral radiance of the Sun. The results showed that the exposure limi...

The proposed revisions to the ANSI Z136, ICNIRP, and IEC 60825-1 laser exposure limits for multiple pulse ocular exposure for wavelengths from 400 to 1400 nm are examined for pulse durations tp tmin (Ti). The three rules that are defined to be applied for multiple pulse exposures (or for classification for IEC 60825-1) are compared to identify criteria for which one of the rules is the critical...
