With regard to the question of whether electromagnetic fields (for example in asso-

ciation with industrial wireless LANs) can put human health at risk, we refer to a

publication of BITKOM (German Association for information Technology, Tele-

communication and New Media e. V) dated December 2003:

"The same regulations for the protection of health for all other radio applica-

tions also apply to WLAN devices. These regulations are based on the pro-

tection concept of ICNIRP

or the corresponding recommendation of the

European Council.

The independent German radiation protection commission (SSK) was com-

missioned by the federal German ministry of the environment to investigate

the possible dangers - thermal and non-thermal - resulting from electromag-

netic fields and came to the following conclusions

"The SSK comes to the conclusion that even after evaluation of the latest

scientific literature, there is no new scientific evidence regarding proven ad-

verse effects on health that causes any doubt regarding the scientific

evaluation on which the protection concept of the ICNIRP or the European

Council recommendation is based."

The SSK also concludes that below the current limit values, there is also no

scientific suspicion of health risks.

This evaluation agrees with that of other national and international scientific

commissions and with that of the WHO (www.who.int/emf
