An adult male standing on a conductive ground plane was exposed to a 40\u2009MHz vertically polarized plane wave field, close to whole\u2010body resonance where maximal induced current flows are expected in the legs. A metal plate (50\u2013300\u2009mm long) was attached to the tibia in the left leg. The findings from this study re\u2010emphasize the need to ensure compliance with limb current reference levels for exposures near whole\u2010body resonance, and not just rely on compliance with ambient electric (<jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>) and magnetic (<jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic>) field reference levels. Moreover, we emphasize this recommendation for someone with a tibial plate, as failure to comply may result in significant tissue damage (increases in the localized temperature of 5\u201310\u2009\u00b0C were suggested by the modeling for an incident <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>\u2010field of 61.4\u2009V\/m root mean square (rms)). It was determined that the occupational reference level for limb current (100\u2009mA\u2009rms), as stipulated in the 1998 guidelines of the International Commission on Non\u2010Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is satisfied if the plane wave incident <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>\u2010field levels are no more than 29.8\u2009V\/m\u2009rms without an implant and 23.4\u2009V\/m\u2009rms for the model with a 300\u2009mm implant.
