Temperature increase in human organs due to over-exposure to electromagnetic radiations from mobile devices and base stations: a comparison study
Abstract:
People are continuously exposed to electromagnetic (EM) sources in their vicinity which has
been generated by electronic devices such as those found in mobile phones, portable devices, and base
stations. This study aims to investigate the temperature increase in human organs due to EM fields
emitted from the mobile base stations and portable devices at over-exposure conditions. This study
systematically investigates and models the effects of distance to an EM source and radiated power on heat
transfer in each organ e.g. testis, intestine, bladder, etc. The specific absorption rate (SAR) and the
temperature increases in the tissue during exposure to EM fields are obtained by numerical simulation of
the bioheat transfer equation and the EM wave propagation as described by Maxwell's equations. The
findings indicate that the exposure distance from the EM source significantly influences the electric field,
SAR and temperature distribution in each organ. Moreover, the tissue dielectric properties also affect the
temperature distribution patterns within the tissue. These findings may enable us to determine the
exposure limits for the power output of the wireless transmitter, and its distance from the human.
Furthermore, the findings can be used as a guideline to clinical practitioners in EM related the interaction
of the radiated waves with the human body.
