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.
