Background information
Given the rapid proliferation of electronic devices and wireless technologies, understanding the impact of EMF on human health and establishing appropriate safety standards has become increasingly important. The workshop will provide an essential platform for discussing recent activities both in other ITU Sectors and international organizations that have been actively engaged in EMF research and guideline development.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about and debate current national activities on human exposure to RF-EMF, as well as international efforts to harmonize EMF exposure limits. Insights into how different countries are approaching the challenges posed by EMF will be shared, and case studies from various regions will be presented.
By fostering an environment of knowledge exchange and collaboration, this workshop endeavors to support the development of well-informed EMF policies, that protect public health while enabling the continued growth and innovation of wireless technologies.
