Biological Effects of Radio Frequency Waves on Human Body

There are a great amount of electromagnetic waves that we are exposed to them every day. Some of these waves present in our environment naturally, and the other part has been added to environment as human acivities. The electromagnetic waves in the range of radio frequency or RF, may have adverse and irreversible effects on human body. Some of RF generators are radio television antennas, satellites, mobile transmitters and receivers and microwave ovens. In this paper, the destructive effects of this waves and the results of the last related researches have been stated, and the thermal effects and the RF frequency effects are described. The defined standards by different centers, related to harmless radiation of RF per unit area and unit weight of a man have been mentioned in a separate section and finally the ways of protection and safety against this kind of radiation have been explained.
