Editorial: Introduction to the Special Issue on Progress in Environmental Electromagnetic Safety and Biomedical EMC

The papers in this special issue collects scientific contributions in the field of progress in environmental electromagnetic safety and biomedical EMC. With the advancement of various electronic systems, humans are exposed to electromagnetic emissions. For human exposure from electronic systems, computational or experimental assessment should be conducted to comply with international guidelines for human safety from electromagnetic fields. One of the indispensableEMCchallenges is to ensure safety, protection, and performance under the presence of human body. In wireless systems, the fifth-generation wireless communications (5G),wireless power transfer (WPT), and several related topics lead to new challenges for EMC concerns. The electric and hybrid vehicles often require large currents to support the vehicle operation and can lead to induced electromagnetic field inside passengers. For healthcare and medicine, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrical stimulations, electromagnetic signals are applied on humans. New exposure standards have been published in 2019 from IEEE International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (0–300 GHz) and in 2020 from International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. For product safety, IECand IEEE are responsible for compliance assessment. To develop further scientific basis for exposure standard, as well as product safety assessment method, further improvement of computational and experimental methods, including dielectric properties measurement and human modeling, are important.
