Elektromagnetische Velden en Gezondheid

Pooled community-based cohort study on health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields

Afgerond (september 2008 - januari 2018)

In het dagelijks leven zijn we regelmatig omgeven door technische apparaten die elektromagnetische velden (EMV) produceren. Het gaat hierbij vooral om radiofrequente en extreem laagfrequente EMV, zoals mobiele telefoons, UMTS- en gsm-zendmasten en elektrische apparaten thuis en op kantoor. Het gebruik van dergelijke technologie is de afgelopen jaren sterk toegenomen en daarmee ook onze...
