Fig 2.13.2: POWER DENSITY LOCATIONS AND EXPOSURE LIMITS [Source:76/3] At the present time the limited understanding of microwave health impacts does only allow a preliminary definition of exposure levels. In this field a lot of research work has to be done. When more is known about this problem, one could start to think about protection or shielding of workers, which have to maintain the antenna and the rectenna during operation. The effectson animals appear to be generally similar to those on men, although differences in sensitivity for different frequencies and power levels to different species of animals have been found. Plants are expected to be rather unaffected by these ’’low" power levels, so that the land beneath and around rectennas could be favourably utilised for agriculture.
