Electrosmog in New Italian Legislation

It appears that the enactment of an Italian law on "electrosmog" is imminent. The law sets the foundations of the rules relating to all devices that emit electric or magnetic fields, with the sole exclusion of diagnostic or therapeutic instruments and the related exposure of the patients who are subjected to their use.

The new rules will reduce from ten to five years the period in which the radioelectric plants and systems already in function (e.g., radio transmitters/receivers) must conform to the new limits established; and they will introduce the penalty of the suspension of activities, for a period of four months, for those who violate the limits established by the necessary authorisation - to be granted after specific verifications, which are no longer just provided for radioelectric plants, but also for all other instruments to which the rules apply: electric cable, fixed telephone plants for mobile telephones, television and audio radio diffusion, etc.
