RF Radiation Safety

RF radiation is a highly specialized area that is growing in importance. The proliferation of wireless communications services, such as cellular communications, PCS, and pagers, has dramatically increased the level of awareness of RF radiation and its applications in industry continue to grow. RF energy is used to form and weld plastics, dry ceramics and wood, manufacture semiconductors, and vulcanize tires.

Occupational risks associated with RF radiation come from several areas. Most people working in the electronics industry recognize occupational risks from purposeful radiators-antennas. But the recognition often does not extend to those employed in other occupations. And the public, although rarely at risk, often requires assurance that conditions are safe.
