The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark) have done the most research into this issue, that I am aware of. If you look into the TCO (Swedish Workers Union) website, you can find standards relating to ELF & VLF magnetic and electrical fields exposure.
http://www.tco.se/eng/ Thanks- Mark M. -----Original Message----- From: Muriel Bittencourt de Liz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 4:13 PM To: Lista de EMC da IEEE Subject: Environmental question Hello Group, We already know the standards related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (e.g. ANSI/IEEE). However some people have asked us if there is any standard/recommendations limiting the exposure of forests, lakes/rivers, animals, etc to RF fields. Do you know any FDA and EPA (or another agency) that regulate this subject of RF fields incidence? Example: Imagine a radio-base station (mobile comm) or antenna (TV or radio) put in the middle of a forest, where there is not human habitation, but we have animals, trees and waters. Is there any standard/recommendation related to this case (only for non-ionizing radiation, ie, EM radiation). Thanks in advance and Regards, Muriel ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
