  • Published : 1999.08.01

Abstract

Exposure limits for human protection are determined by converting basic limits for induced current, SAR(specific absorption rate), or power density, which are based upon biological effects, to measurable electric and magnetic field intensities. As a part of studies for the establishment of a domestic guideline for exposure limits, the validity of the exposure limits of five representative guidelines or standards, which are derived from basic limits, are investigated in this paper, using the published results for coupling mechanisms of electromagnetic field into a human body, and problems in each standard are analyzed and compared with each other.

인체보호를 위한 노출기준은 생물학적 영향을 근거로 유도전류밀도, 비흡수율 또는 전력밀도에 대한 기본 한계치를 결정한 다음 이를 전자계와 인체와의 결합 메카니즘을 고려하여 측정 가능한 전계와 자계강도로 변 환함으로써 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 노출기준 설정을 위한 연구의 일환으로 전자계의 인체 결합 메카 니즘에 대한 지금까지의 연구결과를 토대로 대표적인 5개 기준의 기본 한계치로부터 도출된 전자계 노출기준 치에 대한 타당성을 검토하고 각 기준의 문제점을 비교, 분석하였다.
