Abstract

Experts in the field of bioelectromagnetism have reported a growing need to verify Polish regulations on the protection against electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the 0-300 GHz range, especially in their maximal permissible intensities (MPI). There is a general belief that Polish standards do not fully comply with recommendations and directives of the European Union (EU) and that Polish regulations on the border values for environmental and occupational exposure to EMF are not harmonized. To this end, the Commission for Bioelectromagnetic Issues have been set up in the Polish Radiation Research Society. Following a through analysis of standards binding in Poland and EU, the Commission set about working on verified MPI values for EMF. This paper presents some comments of the Commission members, stressing the complexity of this undertaking.

Main findings

The paper reports a perceived need to verify Polish EMF protection regulations (0–300 GHz), particularly maximum permissible intensities, due to beliefs that they are not fully compliant or harmonized with EU recommendations/directives. It presents comments from Commission members emphasizing the complexity of verifying MPI values after analysis of Polish and EU standards.

Outcomes measured

  • Verification/harmonization of Polish regulations on maximum permissible intensities (MPI) for electromagnetic fields (0–300 GHz)
  • Comparison of Polish EMF standards with EU recommendations/directives for environmental and occupational exposure limits

Limitations

  • No specific health outcomes or quantitative results are described in the abstract
  • No specific exposure sources, measurement methods, or proposed MPI values are provided in the abstract
