reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA623669 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This health risk assessment HRA, conducted 5-6 May 2015, was requested to verify safe exposure levels of electromagnetic frequency radiation EMFR at this Air Force AF facility. At the request of the Air Force Research Laboratory AFRL, the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Consultative Services Division assessed AFRL s Newport Antenna Measurement Facility. This HRA included measurements for potential exposures to EMFR as well as an evaluation for compliance with AF standards. EMFR operations at the Newport Antenna Measurement Facility are compliant with the current AFI 48-109 and IEEE C95.1. No exposures on or around the Newport facility exceed either the upper or lower tier maximum permissible exposure limits. Engineering and administrative controls are consistent with AF requirements and provide sufficient safety for all personnel at and near the facility. Any changes to the layout or procedures at the Newport facility will require a new survey.
