Frequency-dependent electromagnetic energy absorption and thermal gradients in human skin layers
Source abstract
Abstract
This study presents a frequency-specific model of electromagnetic wave penetration and energy absorption in layered human skin. Using Python-based simulations, we visualize specific absorption rate SAR depth profiles for selected frequencies and analyze the resulting thermal gradients. The model reveals that localized heating can exceed physiological thresholds, potentially leading to effects such as thermal sensation, nociceptor activation, or protein denaturation. These results underscore the significance of spatial SAR analysis in evaluating the biological effects of electromagnetic exposure.
