The FCC's OET Bulletin No. 65 (dated August 1997), with its Supplements is an essential reference and is available free from the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov
The Canadian regulations are contained in Safety Code 6 "Limits of Exposure to RadioFrequency Fields at Frequencies from 10 kHz - 300 GHz." This is available for purchase (at less than $10 US as I recall) from: Canada Communications Publishing Group Customer Service Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0S9 819 956 4802 - Office 819 994 1498 - FAX For a very complete survey of the subject, I suggest "Radio Frequency Radiation" by William F.
