Abstract
A directive by the Commission of the European Communities for protection against microwaves is outlined, and the nature of microwaves, and possible protection methods are discussed. Devices which utilize microwaves are reviewed. The health risks from these forms of radiation are discussed, and safety limits are considered. A limit value of 10 mw/sqcm is specified.
