The issues related to the effect of electromagnetic fields on people provoke numerous controversies and fears. Electromagnetic fields are generally unnoticeable by human beings, and at the same time the society is not aware of their effects. Having this in mind, NIK conducted an audit which focused on the evaluation of the activities of bodies responsible for control and supervision of the permissible level of electromagnetic fields, and the effectiveness thereof, in the vicinity of mobile telecommunication station bases. The audit also comprised the state’s monitoring of the environment affected by electromagnetic fields. Since the use of mobile phones has become common, especially in the case of children and teenagers, the audit also verified the educational and health activities in the area, which should promote the use of mobile devices in such a way so that it provided for avoiding excessive exposition to electromagnetic radiation.
