Emerging EMF Technologies and Health Risk Management

Objective

To create a structure in which researchers in the field of EMF and health can share knowledge and information on: How existing EMF technologies change either in their operating characteristics or in novel ways and applications in which they are used; Identifying what entirely new EMF technologies are introduced and on what time-scale; What novel emission and operating characteristics might result and what impact these would have on the device-specific and overall EMF exposure of people; What possible health effects could consequently arise and the scientific evidence for health concerns if any; How such concerns should be addressed through the use of evidence-based information; What tools are effective in communicating and managing such risks and perceived risks. And, effectively publish all such information in the public sector for the benefit of all stakeholders.
