In the United Kingdom the responsibility for ensuring that exposures to humans are optimised is split between two regulatory functions. Also discussed is the increasing public concern that rf energy is yet another hazardous environmental = ,Įuropean basic safety standards require that exposure of humans to the potentially harmful effects of ionising radiation are optimised so that they are as low as reasonably achievable, taking account of economic and societal factors.
Coupled with new developments in instrumentation and dosimetry, the results from chronic exposure program and population exposure studies could be expected within the next five to ten years. Particularly relevant to SPS is the initiation of long-term, low-level microwave exposure programs. A trend toward stricter controls on activities perceived as harmful to public health is under way as is interest in improving the federal regulatory process. The possible convergence of microwave standards is characterized by a lowering of Western exposure levels while Eastern countries consider standard relaxation. An historical development of US occupational and public microwave standards includes an overview of Western and East European philosophies of environmental protection and neurophysiology which have led to the current widely differing maximum permissible exposure limits to microwaves. Present and future federal regulatory processes which may impact the permissible levels of microwave radiation emitted by the SPS Microwave Power Transmission (MPTS) were studied.
