The latter may appear to contradict the 1999 European Recommendation setting EMF exposure limits for the public in the 0-300 GHz range, for they report quite different values. The aim of this work is to clarify the foundations on which these various values were established. We conclude that the upper levels of these values are not contradictory; rather, they were developed on different bases for different purposes.
