This study considers the computationally determined thermal profile of a finely discretized, heterogeneous human body model, simulating a radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) worker wearing protective clothing subject to RF-EMF exposure, and subject to various environmental conditions including high ambient temperature and high humidity, with full thermoregulatory mechanisms in place. How the human body responds in various scenarios was investigated, and the information was used to consider safety limits in current international RF-EMF safety guidelines and standards. It was found that different environmental conditions had minimal impact on the magnitude of the thermal response due to RF-EMF exposure, and that the current safety factor of 10 applied in international RF-EMF safety guidelines and standards for RF-EMF workers is generally conservative, though it is only narrowly so when workers are subjected to the most adverse environmental conditions.

本研究考虑了一个精细离散的异质人体模型的计算确定热分布，模拟了一名穿戴防护服、暴露于射频电磁场（RF - EMF）下且处于包括高温环境和高湿度在内的各种环境条件下、具有完整体温调节机制的射频电磁场工作人员。研究了人体在各种情况下的反应，并利用这些信息来考量当前国际射频电磁场安全指南和标准中的安全限值。结果发现，不同环境条件对射频电磁场暴露引起的热响应幅度影响极小，并且国际射频电磁场安全指南和标准中应用于射频电磁场工作人员的当前10倍安全系数总体上较为保守，不过当工作人员处于最不利的环境条件时，这种保守程度很有限。《生物电磁学》。2017年，第38卷，第356 - 363页。© 2017威利期刊公司。
