The ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines and Standardization update of Serbian EMF radiation exposure limits

The man-made electromagnetic field (EMF) has been extensively used in last several decades, particularly since wireless telecommunication technology experienced substantial expansion. Simultaneously, the exposure to EMF has become an issue and inevitable part of intensive public debate on health ef-fects. Thus, the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Ra-diation Protection (ICNIRP) has published ICNIRP 2020 guide-lines, in order to ensure high-quality protection against all so far acknowledged health risks when population is/can be exposed to EMFs. Beside the latest updates of the exposure limits, which are based on improved scientific accuracy in most recent scien-tific studies, an important task of the ICNIRP 2020 is also a rec-ommendation to national decision-makers to update their EMF legislation. Such accomplishment is fundamental for their activ-ities on EMF investigation, since all activities should be lined up with up-to-date recommendations. In this paper, the standardi-zation update of the most important Serbian EMF legislation acts is considered, highlighting parts of prescribed EMF expo-sure limits that should be altered in the near future.
