Abstract :
Data are presented from the measurement of electromagnetic (EM) radiation pollution for radiation hazard assessment. The measurement data are compared to international standards. regulations, and laws. Special attention was devoted to the measurement of the EM fields near hospitals. It is felt that the effect of field levels currently allowed for the Italian population could be, in some cases, very dangerous for pacemaker wearers and other using electrical/electronic medical devices
