Electromagnetic fields and health
With regard to the question of whether electromagnetic fields (for example in association
with industrial wireless LANs) can put human health at risk, we refer to a publication of
BITKOM (German Association for information Technology, Telecommunication and New
Media e. V.), dated December 2003:
"The same health guidelines apply to WLAN devices as to all other radio applications. These
regulations are based on the protection concept of ICNIRP
1
or the corresponding
recommendation of the European Council.
The independent German radiation protection commission (SSK) was commissioned by the
federal German ministry of the environment to investigate the possible dangers - thermal and
non-thermal - resulting from electromagnetic fields and came to the following conclusions
2
:
'The German Commission on Radiological Protection concludes that according to the latest
scientific literature no new scientific research is available with respect to proven health
hazards which would throw doubt upon the scientific evaluation which serves as the basis for
the ICNIRP safety concepts and the recommendations of the EU commission.'
The SSK also concludes that below the current limit values, these is also no scientific
suspicion of health risks.
