7. Conclusion
The radio environment to which man is exposed is highly complex. This environment is not due to a single source, but to multiple origins, both intended and unintended. Is this environment dangerous for humans? Not only do we need standards to define fields that should not be exceeded, but we also need to be able to measure them. In addition to their frequency (wavelength), fields are not constant in space and time, making them very difficult to characterize. Field measurements, or exposimetry, can only be correctly interpreted by specialists with in-depth knowledge of the properties of electromagnetic fields. These measurements will be the subject of a second article
