Measurement system and method for determining the amount of electromagnetic radiation energy being absorbed by living beings

The method of obtaining a measurement of the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by a living being at a particular location comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an adequate electrical ground connection;
• b) connecting first electrical conducting means between said ground terminal of a measurement meter means;
• c) obtaining a first measurement of electromagnetic energy by said measurement meter means at a measurement terminal of said meter;
• d) making electrical conductive contact with said living being with electrical contact means;
• e) connecting second electrical conducting means between said electrical contact means and said measurement terminal of said measurement meter means;
• f) obtaining a second measurement of electromagnetic energy at said measurement terminal of said measurement meter means and
• g) determining the amount of radiation absorbed by said living being by subtracting the reading in c) from that in f).

The method of obtaining a measurement of the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by a living being at a particular location comprising the steps of:

• a) measuring the amount of electromagnetic radiation occurring at said particular location by using a measuring device which includes;
• i) grounding means for obtaining an adequate electrical ground connection,
• ii) a meter having a ground terminal and a measurement terminal for measuring electromagnetic energy,
• iii) a first electrical conductor connected between said grounding means and said ground terminal of said measurement meter,
• iv) an electrically conductive expandable cuff for making electrically conductive contact with said living being, and
• v) a second electrical conductor connected between said electrically conductive expandable cuff and said measurement terminal of said measurement meter;
• b) measuring the electromagnetic radiation occurring when said living being is at said particular location and connected by said electrically conductive expandable cuff to said meter measurement terminal;
• and
• c) subtracting the reading obtained in step a) from the reading obtained in step b), obtaining from said subtraction a quantity indicative of the electromagnetic energy absorbed by said living being at a particular location.
