Current limits for exposures to nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) are set, based on relatively short‐term exposures. Long‐term exposures to weak EMF are not addressed in the current guidelines. Nevertheless, a large and growing amount of evidence indicates that long‐term exposure to weak fields can affect biological systems and might have effects on human health. If they do, the public health issues could be important because of the very large fraction of the population worldwide that is exposed. We also discuss research that needs to be done to clarify questions about the effects of weak fields. In addition to the current short‐term exposure guidelines, we propose an approach to how weak field exposure guidelines for long‐term exposures might be set, in which the responsibility for limiting exposure is divided between the manufacturer, system operator, and individual being exposed.

制定电磁辐射和研究需求的准则。

根据相对短期的暴露来设置暴露于非电离电磁场（EMF）的电流极限。当前准则未解决长期暴露于弱EMF的问题。但是，越来越多的证据表明，长期暴露于弱磁场会影响生物系统，并可能对人体健康产生影响。如果这样做的话，那么公共卫生问题就可能变得很重要，因为全世界有很大一部分人口被暴露在外。我们还将讨论需要做的研究，以澄清有关弱场影响的问题。除了当前的短期暴露指南，我们还提出了一种方法，该方法可以设置长期暴露的弱场暴露指南，其中限制暴露的责任由制造商，系统操作员，以及暴露的个人。生物电磁学。©2020生物电磁学会
