I don't know much about them either especially when it comes to long-term
effects.  Frankly, I think long-term exposure at lower power levels such as
these are
a "grey" area and not too much is known.  As far as limits, I don't know too
much about them and what effects slightly exceeding the limits even has on
the human body.

So what does all that actually mean?   It means you have a darn cool tesla
coil, thats what!
