Abstract:
There are many studies about the effect of electromagnetic radiations on living organisms. Most of these have been carried out with mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, etc; only a limited amount of data is based on effects observed directly on human beings, which were mostly exposed to EM waves because of professional reasons (Epidemiology). In this paper some of these studies have been gathered according to the affected system. At higher frequencies power density is the parameter to be taken into account, at lower frequencies electric and magnetic field are, but in the graph they were expressed in terms of equivalent power density as ExH when both field strength were given, or as E2/Z or H2 Z (where Z is the free space impedance), when only one of them was given. Standards from different countries to human exposure are presented, and finally an analysis of the effects compared with standards from the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. is presented.

Effective Value of a Periodic Waveform
The effective value of a periodic current represents the direct current (DC) that conveys the same average power to a resistor as the periodic current itself. This concept is crucial when assessing AC circuits. To determine the...
