This study aims to describe current risk management practices and policies across the world in relation to personal exposures from devices emitting radiofrequency fields, environmental exposures from fixed installations and exposures in the work environment. Data from 86 countries representing all WHO regions were collected through a survey. The majority of countries (76.8 %) had set exposure l...

This paper evaluates procedures relevant to extrapolating from toxicity data in man and animals to Occupational Exposure Limits. It examines effects at or around the "No Observed Adverse Effect Level' (NOAEL) and the magnitude of safety factors which can be applied in developing occupational exposure limits for non-stochastic effects. The relationship between incidence of stochastic effect and ...

This report summarizes the results of a series of infrared (IR) laser-induced ocular damage studies conducted over the past decade. The studies examined retinal, lens, and corneal effects of laser exposures in the near-IR to far-IR transition region (wavelengths from 1.3-1.4 mum with exposure durations ranging from Q-switched to continuous wave). The corneal and retinal damage thresholds are ta...
