the context of the WHO Radiofrequency Fields monograph, an overview of national risk management policies and practices on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields was undertaken in 2012 to set up a baseline for determining progress achieved over time. To that end, a survey was carried out in the Fall of 2012 to gather information on national policies in relation to personal exposures from devices emitting radiofrequency fields, environmental exposures from fixed installations and exposures in the work environment.
Outcomes
- Data from 86 countries representing all WHO regions were collected, analysed and published in a peer-reviewed journal
- WHO convened a seminar to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to present their views on specific questions to be addressed during the course of this project in June 2013 at the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) in Paris, France.
