safety limits. Governmental and professional safety boards are tasked with establishing maximum permissible exposure(MPE)levels that protect human beings against adverse health effects associated with EMFs. In the United States,the relevant standards are IEEE Std C95.6 (dated 2002), which addresses EM fields in the 1 Hz to 3 kHz range, and IEEE Std 95.1 (dated 2005), which deals with the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. On the European side of the Atlantic, responsibility for establishing MPE levels resides with the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) of the European Commission.
