Measurement and Method in Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Assessments

Radiofrequency radiation dosimetry describes how this radiation is being absorbed in the body. The basic units of measuring the radiofrequency exposure are the electric E (V/m), magnetic B (A/m) field strength, the power density S (W/m 2 ), and the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) (W/kg). Many studies have made use of different types of instruments to assess the level of radiofrequency radiation ...

Exposure reporting disparity in Gulf War Registry–related clinical assessments

Objectives The Gulf War Registry monitors related health conditions of veterans returning from the Persian Gulf Region. Enrollment consists of two phases: Phase I-veterans meet with their local VA Environmental Health Coordinator and complete the self-reported Gulf War Phase I Worksheet (VA Form 10-9009A). Phase II involves a physical exam, medical history review, and laboratory test analysis c...

Exposure assessment in health assessments for hand-arm vibration syndrome.

BACKGROUND Assessing past cumulative vibration exposure is part of assessing the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in workers exposed to hand-arm vibration and invariably forms part of a medical assessment of such workers. AIMS To investigate the strength of relationships between the presence and severity of HAVS and different cumulative exposure metrics obtained from a self-reportin...

Correspondence: preformed biomarkers in produce inflate human organophosphate exposure assessments.

Produce Inflate Human Organophosphate Exposure Assessments We read the recent report by Curl et al. (2003) concerning organophosphate (OP) pesticide exposures with considerable interest. It seems to have escaped their notice that OP pesticides yield the same dialkylphosphate (DAP) products in urine whether they are human metabolites or formed in treated fruits and vegetables and consumed in the...
