EMF Risk Communication
ISBN 978-3-9804789-4-6
EUR 20,00

Content: The risk of exposure to EMF is differently evaluated by the general public and by the scientific community. This heterogeneous perception makes it difficult to communicate adequately about the potential hazards of such exposure.
In order to better understand public risk perception and to improve health risk communications, a seminar was organized by ICNIRP. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the science on risk issues and its application to electromagnetic fields.
