Abstract :
Safety issues of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposures are discussed. The topics include safety of millimetre and terahertz waves, wireless power transfer, and emerging wireless communication systems of complex nature. Difficulty of epidemiological studies is also discussed. The author suggests that a relevant level of caution is recommended for this issue which allows safety use of electromagnetic energy with reasonable efforts.
