Potential risks of EMF exposure from facilities such as power lines or mobile phone base stations present a difficult set of challenges for decision-makers. The challenges include determining if there is a hazard from EMF exposure and what the potential health impact is. Responding to these challenges requires the involvement of individuals or organizations with the right set of competencies, combining relevant scientific expertise, strong communication skills and good judElectromagnetic fieldsPublic healthElectronic books.Electromagnetic fields.Public health.363.189MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450186103321Establishing a dialogue on risks from electromagnetic fields2018911UNINA
