Why Are
People Scared Of
- Are
they really the "killing fields" as denoted by the press?
OR …..
- "Science still does not know how
dangerous
the radiation is, but… within a year, a decade, a century, it
will…"
- "Standards for limiting dangerous
exposure
were prepared by biased parties"…
- "Standards consider thermal effects
only,
whereas, many a-thermal effects, including cancer, are not
considered"…
- "Wait and see - EMR exposure will be
similar
to asbestos and smoking…
- "Well known, respectable scientists do
not
exclude connection between EMR and cancer"…
- "Prudent Avoidance - better be safe
than
sorry"!
This
presentation attempts to shed light on the issue of "Electrophobia",
or "Why are people really scared of Electromagnetic Fields". Discussion will focus on the history of EMF
usage, evolution of EMR standards, from the turn of 20th century to
date, and
the evolution of public response.
This controversial issue will be viewed from a users' point,
addressing
the sources of fear, the facts and fallacies, and the risk in… risk
research.

SAME DAY AT 3:00 PM
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON
EMC & PCB DESIGN
ABSTRACT: It
is commonly said that "there are many answers to each question,
most of which are... Wrong!" EMC considerations are no different.
Moreover,
many concepts, but mainly misconceptions, accompany the common EMC
"knowledge". Questions regarding such issues as decoupling
strategies, PCB layout, Enclosure shielding, ground loop concerns, etc.
Are
often addressed, which many (not necessary consistent) answers to each.
This
presentation includes
frequently asked questions and proposed, well-founded replies to each,
along
with the technical rational and scientific reasoning.
