Resumen

The Council hereby lays down particular recommendations as regards the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields. For the present purposes, the term electromagnetic fields (EMF) includes static fields, extremely low frequency (ELF) fields and radiofrequency (RF) fields, including microwaves, encompassing the frequency range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz. Member States, in order to provide for a high level of health protection against exposure to electromagnetic fields, should (a) adopt a framework of basic restrictions and reference levels using Annex I.B as the basis; (b) implement measures according to this framework, in respect of sources or practices giving rise to electromagnetic exposure of the general public when the time of exposure is significant with the exception of exposure for medical purposes where the risks and benefits of exposure, above the basic restrictions, must be properly weighed; (c) aim to achieve respect of the basic restrictions given in Annex II for public exposure.
