NRPB to ICNIRP guidelines March 2004

According to this cached document NRPB decided to follow ICNRP guidelines March 2004.

The NRPB and ICNIRP guidelines are the same for occupational exposure. The main difference is that for the public, the ICNIRP levels are a factor of five lower.


“The detailed scientific analysis by NRPB staff supports the recommendation by ICNIRP that exposure guidelines for members of the public should be more restrictive than for workers. This allows for a greater sensitivity to adverse health effects in the general population than for the working population. Increases in sensitivity may occur in infants and children, individuals being treated with medication, and those in the later years of life. The ICNIRP recommendation of a reduction factor of five in the basic restriction for members of the public compared with workers is appropriate.”

From the table:
94 NRPB: 1600 microTesla
98 ICNIRP Occupational: 500 microTesla
98 ICNIRP Public: 100 microTesla
