Assessment of health risks related to the use of an Eqo millimetre-wave full-body scanner
Évaluation des risques sanitaires liés à l’utilisation du scanner corporel à ondes «millimétriques» Eqo
Résumé
Eqo is a detection scanner portal used in airports for the detection of various materials on passengers. After a presentation of the context, scope and modalities of this expertise, this report presents the Eqo portal (main actors, operation, physical parameters, obtained image, control capacity, uses) and reports the assessment of the levels of electromagnetic fields emitted by this portal (measurement conditions and measurement devices, results in terms of frequency spectrum, time variations and power density) and the assessment of the exposure to millimetre-wavelength waves in relationship with the use of the Eqo portal (passengers, workers in the airports and airline personnel, operators). Then, it addresses the case of waves with a frequency higher than 1 GHz (potential biological and health effects, depth of penetration, biological studies, and epidemiological studies). The last part proposes an assessment of health risks related to the use of the Eqo portal.
