The dramatic increase in man-made radio frequency (RF) fields in the environment during the last few decades has led to public health concerns in many parts of the world. Specifically, questions have been raised on the safety of exposure to RF energy emitted from radar, television and radio communication systems, microwave ovens, video display terminals, and most recently, mobile telephones and base stations, Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G. Wearable RF gadgets are prevailing. Wireless power transmission is a newer subject, which can involve high intensity exposures. The IEEE EMF database now has more than 6800 original, peer-reviewed papers useful for public health risk assessment of RF exposure. Even there has been 70 years of research, and WHO indicated that scientific knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals and current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields, controversy on RF safety continues. Both biological and engineering complexities make the validity of many studies questionable. In this presentation, research, standards, regulation and risk communication concerning RF safety will be addressed.

Built by the Army Corps of Engineers between 1933 and 1942, Grand Coulee Dam was the largest concrete structure in the world for decades. With the expansion of the third power station in 1974 made it the largest power plant in the world at the time. It still remains the largest power plant in the USA with a capacity of over 6 GW in three power stations. It also has a large pumped storage facility of several hundred MW that links to the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. As the center-piece of the Columbia Basin Project, the dam's reservoir supplies water for the irrigation of 671,000 acres. Visit Requirements: This is a hard hat, VIP tour of an operating power plant so closed toe shoes and sensible clothing is required. Shorts, dresses, sleeveless shirts, tanktops, high heels, and any long flowing attire are not permitted. Photo ID is required for this tour. Foreign nationals must submit copies of their passports two weeks in advance, while citizens need only to present their driver’s licenses the day of the tour. Only members of IEEE and one quest per member are allowed to attend the VIP tour. No one under 18. There is a shorter tour available for the public every hour that other guests can attend. More info on the public tour can be found at http://www.usbr.gov/pn/grandcoulee/visit/tour.html Cameras are allowed in most areas of the tour. Restricted areas will be pointed out during the tour briefing. RSVP instructions Only members of IEEE and one quest per member are allowed to attend the VIP tour. No one under 18.
