RODRIGO GARCIA-PANDO, Consuelo et al. Exposición a campos electromagnéticos en un servicio de rehabilitación. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2007, vol.53, n.206, pp.21-24. ISSN 1989-7790.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) are present in different workplaces inside the sanitary area. Thousands of studies have been realized in the last decades trying to establish the harmful effects that exposure to them can suppose for the health of workers. The publication of the Directive 2004/40/CE of 29 April 2004, of the European Parliament and of the Council, which establishes the minimal health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents and a bibliographical update of the possible adverse effects of electromagnetic fields, assists us as a frame of reference to know the situation that we are in as a service of Rehabilitation. With the levels of exposure measured in this service and existing knowledge at the current time on the biological effects of the EMF, no exposures are detected that might suppose a risk for workers´ health.

Keywords : Electromagnetic fields (EMF); Biological effects; International Comission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
