The European Commission, in consultation with the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR),invites interested stakeholders to comment on the scientific opinion on "Possible effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) on Human Health".

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) have their origin in diverse sources such as domestic, industrial and medical electrical appliances and devices as well as high voltage overhead transmission lines. Exposure to EMF has been increasing for instance with the growth in the use of appliances of the telecommunications industry and with a rapid increase in the installation of transmitter masts used as radiotelephone base stations.

The consultation will run until 3 November 2006 and the outcome will be published on the SCENIHR website.
