Estimate of the fetal temperature increase due to UHF RFID exposure.
Article em En | MEDLINE | ID: mdl-24109922
ABSTRACT
Exposure from electromagnetic (EM) devices has increased during the last decades due to the rapid development of new technologies. Among them, radiofrequency identification (RFID) applications are used in almost every aspect of everyday life, which could expose people unselectively. This scenario could pose potential risks for certain groups of general population, such as pregnant women, who are more sensitive to thermal effects produced by EM exposure. In this paper, the temperature rise at the steady state in two pregnant women models exposed to UHF RFID has been assessed. Results show that heating of tissues is far from the threshold of biological effects indicated by radiation protection guidelines.
