  • Title: [Protection against electromagnetic fields 0-300 GHz in Poland. New regulations and perspectives if their harmonization wit the European Union requirements].
    Author: Trzaska H.
    Journal: Med Pr; 2003; 54(2):197-201. PubMed ID: 12924005.
    Abstract:
    A critical review of protection regulations (or their proposals) on work safety regarding electromagnetic fields as well as the general public protection against unwanted exposure to the fields are presented in this paper. The standards of the Western World are illogical in both aspects, biomedical knowledge and technical. The results (permissible exposures) are defined more precisely than the input data. In Poland, two independent acts are in force: one on occupational exposures and the other on non-occupational exposures. The former is "a world-better", but requires to be immediately changed to a standard that is applicable and friendly to its users. The latter can be accepted after introducing several amendments. The enlargement of the environmental standard to include occupational issues may create a good Polish proposal also useful at the international level.
