GUIDELINES FOR LIMITING EMF EXPOSURE
Separate guidance is given for occupational exposures and exposure of the general public. Occupational exposure in these guidelines refers to adults exposed to time-varying electric, and magnetic fields from 1 Hz to 10 MHz at their workplaces, generally under known conditions, and as a result of performing their regular or assigned job activities. By contrast, the term general population refers to individuals of all ages and of varying health status which might increase the variability of the individual susceptibilities. In many cases, members of the public are unaware of their exposure to EMF. These considerations underlie the adoption of more stringent exposure restrictions for the public than for workers while they are occupationally exposed.
