Are there any safety limits on human exposure to wireless and RF fields?
Yes. Limits on wireless and RF energy exposures have been recommended by International and national health authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) developed science-based safety guidelines through guidance and recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). A feature of the FCC’s safety guidelines is that there is a safety factor of fifty included in the general population limits. That is, the general population limits are fifty times lower than the power levels that could cause harm to the human body. These guidelines serve to protect the general population from over-exposure to RF energy. Edison SmartConnect meters and cell relays emit only a fraction of the FCC’s human exposu
