RF-EMR Exposure Guidelines | Metered Readings for RF-EMR Exposures
Biologically-Based Electromagnetic Fields and Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation Exposure Guidelines
BioInitiative, 2017: "A scientific benchmark of 30 µW/m² for lowest observed effect level for RF microwave radiation is based on mobile phone base station-level studies. Applying a ten-fold reduction to compensate for the lack of long-term exposure (to provide a safety buffer for chronic exposure) or for children as a sensitive subpopulation yields a 3 to 6 µW/m² RF Microwave Radiation exposure guideline"

Similar scientifically-based Electromagnetic Fields and Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation Exposure Guidelines are published by the International Institute for Building-Biology & Ecology:
| ANOMALY –> | No | Slight | Severe | Extreme | FCC Guideline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RF Microwave Radiation (µW/m²) | < 0.1 | 0.1–10 | 10–1,000 | 1,000 | 10,000,000 |
| Magnetic Fields (mG) | < 0.2 | 0.2–1 | 1–5 | > 5 | N/A |
| Electric Fields (V/m) | < 0.3 | 0.3–1.5 | 1.5–10 | 10 | N/A |

Terms/Units defined:
- Anomaly: something different, abnormal, peculiar
Example: Her C grade is an anomaly because she’s never earned anything but A’s and B’s before. - µW/m² = microWatts or millionths of a Watt per square meter, which is a power flux density — the amount of electrical power that flows through a defined two-dimensional area
- mG = milliGauss or thousandths of a Gauss, which is a magnetic flux density — the amount of magnetic power that flows through a defined two-dimensional area. One Gauss is one Maxwell per square centimeter)
- V/m = Volts per meter, potential difference of one Volt existing between two points that are one meter apart.
- FCC Guideline = 10,0000 µW/m² for frequencies from 1,500 MHz to 300,000 MHz. Below 1,500 MHz, calculate (frequency/1,500) × 10,000,000. For example, the FCC guideline for 600 MHz is 4,000,000 µW/m² and for 900 MHz it is 6,000,000 µW/m².

Discussion
-
One cannot miss the many orders-of-magnitude difference between these two numbers:
- 10 µW/m²: an RF-EMR exposure level that can be biologically tolerated.
- 10,000,000 µW/m²: an outdated, scientifically unsound, commercial guideline adopted by the FCC that serves only the Wireless industry’s business goals.
- Independent Scientific data (research that is not funded the Wireless industry) show that RF-EMR exposures even 100,000 times lower than the FCC RF-EMR exposure guideline does not protect humans, animals, insects or plants from adverse biological effects.
- 0.02 µW/m²: (which corresponds to -75dBm) is all that is needed for "five bars" signal strength on a cell phone, according to Wireless industry drive tests. This is explained in more detail here: http://mystreetmychoice.com/press.html#guidelines

Power Flux Density (PFD) measures only the rate of electrical power. PFD does NOT measure the total electrical power delivered over time, which would require the rate to be multiplied by the time of exposure, reported in a more relevant unit: µW-seconds/m² or µJoules/m².
- Note: you encounter a very similar unit whenever you pay your electric utility bill: you pay for kilowatt-hours of electrical power (the total power used), not just kilowatts (the rate at which the power was delivered).
- The importance of total exposure over time is self-evident to each of us with another form of electromagnetic radiation: exposures from the Sun. You can walk outside naked at mid-day on a sunny day and you will get a mild "sun tan", but if you stake yourself on the ground naked for five consecutive days, you will experience severe sun burn, skin damage and possibly the start of skin cancers. It is crystal clear that time of exposure matters for all forms of electromagnetic radiation, whether that is exposures from the sun or exposures from pulsed, data-modulated, Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation.
- This is very similar to the problem of 24/7/365 RF-EMR exposures from Close Proximity Microwave Radiation Antenna – Wireless Telecommunications Facilities (CPMRA-WTFs) installed in communities very close to where people, live, work, play, sleep and heal. Living systems cannot biologically tolerate 24/7/365 RF-EMR exposures.
- Conclusion: We need be some areas without high levels of 24/7/365 RF-EMR exposures in our communities: residential zones, schools, parks and facilities used for child care, elder care, fire, police, and medical services.

Average µW/m² readings, as specified by the FCC, significantly under-report the levels of pulsed, data-modulated, RF microwave radiation exposures for two reasons —
- Peak RF microwave radiation exposures meter 100x–1000x higher than average RF microwave radiation for data-carrying, modulated, high-crest signals like Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE and 5G because of the duty cycle, inherent in these RF signals. Inexplicably, the FCC RF microwave radiation exposure guidelines only consider average RF microwave radiation exposures, which is a significant error because living organisms’ biology reacts to the sharp changes of RF microwave radiation from zero to peak levels and back again. This is more fully explained here: Palo Alto Whitewashes RF Microwave Radiation Exposure Hazards.
http://scientists4wiredtech.com/2017/12/broadband-fail-palo-alto-1/ - The FCC RF microwave radiation exposure guidelines consider neither the time of exposure nor the total electrical power delivered over time, which is utter nonsense and scientifically unsound.

Metered Readings for 4G Pulsed, Data-Modulated, Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation
The GigaHertz Solutions HF-38B meter used to make these readings was configured to meter peak RF-EMR exposure readings. Applying the correction factor for the high-speed, pulsed, digital signals of 4G/LTE, the peak levels of 4G/LTE RF-EMR are actually from 13,600 to 170,300 µW/m², after applying the adjustment recommended by the GigaHertz Solutions’ product manual and product video.
