Model Variability in Assessment of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This review examines how variability in computational dosimetry models affects assessment of human RF exposure from MHz to terahertz frequencies, focusing on SAR, absorbed power density, and temperature rise. It reports that anatomical scaling and model choices can drive meaningful differences in predicted SAR (including higher values in children/smaller models), while temperature-rise predictions are especially sensitive to thermophysiological parameters and vascular modeling. The authors indicate that computed variability remains within ICNIRP/IEEE safety margins but argue that uncertainties warrant ongoing research and refinement as new technologies (e.g., 6G) emerge.

Evaluation of Exposure Assessment Methods and Procedures for Induction Hobs (Stoves)

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This exposure-assessment study evaluated magnetic-field and contact-current exposures from modern induction hobs using IEC-based measurement procedures, 3D field scanning, and numerical dosimetry in anatomical models. It reports large between-hob variability in exposure and states that IEC 62233 may substantially underestimate user exposure. The authors argue that design modifications can reduce exposure and that product standards should be revised to better reflect realistic user scenarios.
