Abstract

Amendments to Polish standards on electromagnetic fields (EMF) have made it necessary to modify the methods and procedures to be employed by the sanitary services responsible for monitoring occupational risks. To ensure a correct functioning of the State Sanitary Inspectorate and of the teams involved in measurements, it seems essential: to adjust other relevant regulations; to develop a method of classifying devices according to the emitted EMF; to provide uniform procedures to be followed in institutions if the measurements required by the regulations are not feasible; and to assemble a database on the determined levels of EMF emitted by various devices -especially those at frequency bands not yet monitored.

Key words
