Palestra Convidada:

“Human exposure to electromagnetic fields from wireless communication devices: from 1G to 5G” por Dr. Vikass Monebhurrun

Na próxima quinta-feira, dia 01 de outubro às 09h00

The aim of the talk is to provide a review of the current state of the art on human exposure to electromagnetic fields from wireless communication devices present in our daily environment. The rationale of the guidelines and standard for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields, the limits adopted by the different countries around the world as well as the international standardization activities will be discussed.

Dr. Monebhurrun actively participated in French National Research Programs on human exposure to electromagnetic fields since 1998. He is technical contributor to several international standardization committees on numerical and experimental dosimetry, and he provides expertise to national and international regulatory bodies on this topic.

Resumo:

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), a body recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), established the guidelines for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields in 191998. Based on the review of the scientific literature available at that time, the guidelines provide protection against the known adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields. The limits recommended by ICNIRP have been adopted in Europe and many countries around the world. IEEE has also developed and maintains a standard for the safety levels with respect to human exposure to electromagnetic fields. To further address the problem of possible health effects due to the exposure to electromagnetic fields, extensive research has been undertaken by international laboratories in the fields of biology, dosimetry and epidemiology during the past decades. The biological effects of electromagnetic fields are usually well-known and scientifically recognized, but the adverse health effects on human beings are frequently debated. Following the review of epidemiological studies that showed a possible correlation between the extensive use of mobile phones and an increased risk for glioma, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialized agency for the WHO, classified exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibility carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) in 2011. More recently, ICNIRP and IEEE have updated the guidelines and standard for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields.
