Upgrading the research capacities for safety and health effects of human exposure to electromagnetic fields

Objective

The main objective of the project is to upgrade the research capacity of the Centre for Electromagnetic Compatibility at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, in terms of equipment, methodologies, and human potential, to approach the standards of high quality EU research centres for health effects of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).

Numerous EMF sources have become the focus of health concerns, including power lines, and most recently mobile phones and base stations of existing and emerging wireless technologies. The project s general aim is to support safe integration of mobile and wireless technology in FYROM and wider in Western Balkan Countries and to enable highest EU quality level research on possible adverse effects on brain functions due to exposure to radiofrequency EMF.

The objectives of the project are aimed to Assessment of the existing EMF especially in cases of radiation from multiple sources typical for rural and urban areas. Initiate and support legislative pro cess (the regulations that control EMF exposure in FYROM and wider in the region are obsolete and incomplete). The project will provide documents for implementation of required EU and national standards and regulations, and equipment and procedures for control of the conformance to safety limits.

Enable possibilities to reach the high level research standard comparable with EU Member States, in order to participate in existing (FP6 EMF-NET, EC COST281 Action) and forthcoming (FP7) international joint research projects and networking, in close cooperation with the Paediatric Clinic in Skopje on possible health effects, especially changes in brain functions in children due to EMF exposure by complementing existing specialized experimental equipment and expertise. Establish a regional expertise centre enabling use of the measuring equipment in the region of Western Balkan Countries.
