Abstract :
This paper discusses non-ionizing radiation hazards (RADHAZ) in an introductory way. The following aspects of RADHAZ analysis are addressed: standards against which fields are evaluated to be potentially dangerous or not, measurements that can be used to determine compliance to the standards, numerical methods that can be used to predict fields in order to determine safe regions around potentially hazardous transmitters
