Effect of Skin-to-Skin Contact on Stimulation Threshold and Dosimetry

The human dosimetry for electromagnetic field exposure is an essential task to develop exposure guidelines/standards for human safety as well as product safety assessment. At frequencies from a few hundred Hz to 10 MHz, the adverse effect to be protected is the stimulation of the peripheral nervous system. The in situ electric field in the skin is used as a surrogate of nerve activation. In the low-frequency dosimetry, a high but inaccurate in...
