A Review of International Microwave Exposure Guides

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1970
The use of higher frequency microwave generating equipment has increased considerably since the development of radar and range-finder equipment in the early 1940's. Occupational exposure criteria were not officially proposed in the United States until 1958 when a maximum exposure of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter was established for United States ...

Low internal exposure and absence of adverse effects in workers exposed to high air levels of inorganic selenium.

Toxicology Letters, 2018
Selenium is an essential trace element for humans, but adverse health effects may occur after elevated intake. The margin between it is small. This study aimed to assess external and internal exposure in workers of a selenium-processing plant, in which ...

Impact of Residential Nitrogen Dioxide Exposure on Personal Exposure: An International Study

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 1998
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations were measured during two-day winter periods in indoor and outdoor environments, and these concentrations were compared with simultaneously measured personal exposures in 18 cities in 15 countries around the world. Information was also gathered on activity patterns and household characteristics in order to determine
