  • Title: The approach of ICNIRP to protection of children.
    Author: Vecchia P, International Commission on Ionizing Radiation Protection.
    Journal: Bioelectromagnetics; 2005; Suppl 7():S157-60. PubMed ID: 16142773.
    Abstract:
    ICNIRP has developed a comprehensive system of protection against exposure to electromagnetic fields. Through a conservative approach, based on worst case possible exposure conditions taken into consideration, ICNIRP guidelines provide adequate margins of safety with respect to any health effect that has been scientifically established. Consideration of population groups that might exhibit a special susceptibility to electromagnetic fields, such as children, enters automatically in each step of the development of the guidelines. ICNIRP recognizes, however, that for ethical and emotional reasons, the society may demand special protection of children, independently of scientific evidence of harm.
