R 325.60703 Radiation protection guide.
Cite as Mich. Admin. Code R 325.60703
Rule 3. (1) For normal environmental conditions and for incident
electromagnetic energy of frequencies from 10 MHz to 100 GHz, the radiation
protection guide is 10 mW/cm.2 (milliwatt per square centimeter) as averaged over any
possible 0.1 hour period. This means the following:
Power density: 10 mW/cm.2 for periods of 0.1 hour or more.
Energy density: 1 mW-hr./cm.2 (milliwatt hour per square centimeter) during
any 0.1 hour period. This guide applies whether the radiation is continuous or
intermittent.
(2) These formulated recommendations pertain to both whole body
irradiation and partial body irradiation. Partial body irradiation must be included
since it has been shown that some parts of the human body, such as eyes and testicles,
may be harmed if exposed to incident radiation levels significantly in excess of the
recommended levels.
