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 jud 606 $aElectromagnetic fields 606 $aPublic health 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElectromagnetic fields. 615 0$aPublic health. 676 $a363.189 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450186103321 996 $aEstablishing a dialogue on risks from electromagnetic fields$92018911 997 $aUNINA
