The limitations for the electromagnetic material parameters of chiral media are discussed. Especially, the conditions for the imaginary part of the material parameters are under study. Physical reasons are given to support the limitation $|\kappa ''| < \sqrt{\epsilon '' \mu ''}$ for passive, isotropic chiral media. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
