Radiofrequency environments in the United States
Abstract
As part of a program to determine the need for guidelines to control environmental levels of radiofrequency radiation (3 kHz-300 GHz), the Environmental Protection Agency began measuring levels in urban areas in October 1975. Data on environmental levels in the frequency range 0.5-900 MHz have been obtained for 15 urban areas. This paper summarizes the results of these measurements in the general environment and gives comparative data from other studies on levels near specific sources such as broadcast antennas, radars, walkie-talkies, medical diathermy units, and radiofrequency heat sealers.
