ID Number		1065
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		Summary of WHO sponsored Temperature Thresholds Workshop.
Details		Summary of Temperature Workshop sponsored by the WHO to define thermal levels / thresholds for adverse physiologic endpoints in humans. Relevant to the setting of exposure standards for RF based upon potential adverse effects due to tissue heating. One interesting comment in the paper by Hancock et al. was that small levels of heat or heating for short periods of time may in fact increase reaction time for certain tasks through increasing conduction rate associated with neurons.
