Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Can explain the physical and biological rationale of guidelines and standards for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
2. Can apply relevant human exposure limit and reference values in various frequency ranges.
3. Can analyse induced electromagnetic quantities in the human body using computational dosimetry.
4. Can evaluate the safety of human electromagnetic field exposure based on exposure limits and dosimetry.
