## Key values

- **Limit value:** 2,000,000–1 × 10^7 µW/m² — Regulatory value — legally enforceable — 0.2 mW/cm² at 300 MHz rising to 1.0 mW/cm² at 1500 MHz. At 700 MHz the limit is 0.467 mW/cm² (4,670,000 µW/m²). [fcc-1310]
- **Quantity:** power density
- **Frequency band:** 300–1500 MHz
- **Population:** general public
- **Set by:** FCC Maximum Permissible Exposure (47 CFR 1.1310) (1996, reaffirmed 2019)
- **Kind:** Regulatory — legally enforceable
- **Averaging time:** 30 minutes — A measurement must use the same averaging before it can be compared with this value.
- **Frequency-dependent formula:** f/1500 mW/cm² (f in MHz)
