High Level

Private scientific organizations exert a great deal of influence in the regulation of some technological risks. The high level of expertise of their members is arguably a good reason for them to participate in making and monitoring risk regulations, in order to adjust these to scientific progress. Nevertheless, there are also sound reasons why governments shouldn’t uncritically follow the views expressed by such organizations. Taking the role played by the International Commission on Non–Ionizing Radiation Protection in the regulation of electromagnetic fields as an illustrative example, this paper shows that private scientific organizations such as these are structurally less well suited than democratic authorities when it comes to managing those risks.

Tissue Interaction

One of the most important documents defining recommendations for limiting exposure to almost inevitable electromagnetic radiation was released in 1998 by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). This document is "Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz)". However, the growing knowledge about the electromagnetic field (EMF)-tissue interaction and appearance of innovative telecommunication technologies, raised the need for the improvement of these Guidelines. Thus, the ICNIRP published the latest version of its recommendations in 2020. The purpose of this paper is to briefly present some important differences between the ICNIRP 1998 and 2020 Guidelines and to enlighten their reflection on national EMF legislation.
