Computational Dosimetry at Low Frequencies: Recent Progress and Open Issues

At frequencies lower than 10 MHz, international guidelines and standards use the electric field induced in the body as the measure for limiting human exposure to electromagnetic fields. In case of realistic exposure scenarios, the induced electric field can only be estimated using computational methods and anatomically realistic body models. Computational dosimetry is affected by various sources of uncertainty, which have been actively studied in recent years to strengthen the scientific basis of human exposure guidelines/standards. This paper reviews the progress in low frequency computational dosimetry research since 2016 and highlights some issues that need further investigation.
