medical interference and health risks."
"Because the peak exposure level is crucial in considering electromedical
interference, interference (in) airplanes, and biological
effects on human beings, we also need to consider the possible peak
exposure level, or 'hot spots', for the worst-case estimation."
Reflections and re-radiation from common building material (tile, concrete,
stainless steel, glass, ceramics) and highly reflective appliances and
furnishings are common in kitchens, for example. Using only low
reflectivity FCC equations 6 and 10 may not be informative. Published
studies underscore how use of even the highest reflection coefficient in FCC
OET Bulletin 65 Equations 6 and 10 likely underestimate the potential for
reflection and hot spots in some situations in real-life situations.
This report includes the FCC’s reflection factors of 60% and 100%, and also
reflection factors of 1000% and 2000% that are more in line with those
reported in Hondou, 2001; Hondou, 2006 and Vermeeren et al, 2010. The
use of a 1000% reflection factor in this report is still conservative in
comparison to Hondou, 2006. A 1000% reflection factor is 12% of
Hondou’s larger power density prediction (or 121 times, rather than 1000
times)/ The 2000% reflection factor is 22% of Hondou’s figure (or 441 times
in comparison to 2000 times higher power density in Hondou, 2006).
