title: Dielectric properties of tissues; variation with age and their relevance in exposure of children to electromagnetic fields; state of knowledge.
abstract: This paper reviews and summarises the state of knowledge on dielectric properties of tissues; in particular those obtained as a function of age. It also examines the impact of variation in dielectric data on the outcome of recent dosimetric studies assessing the exposure of children to electromagnetic fields.
