Ministry of Health Information on Reducing EMF
Ministry of Health maintains a dedicated web page, and communicates with concerned citizens. In addition, two downloadable brochures for the public were published in 2016: a descriptive brochure explaining the EMF protection principles, and a Q&A brochure.
- Croatia: Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation The most common questions and answers
- Croatia: EMF Protection Principles (PDF on EHT website)
- Regulations in the field of protection against electromagnetic fields in the Republic of Croatia
- Regular monitoring of EMF from antennas: The owner of the electromagnetic field source is obliged to provide a new measurement of the electromagnetic field levels every three years and submit the results to the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry has a webpage hosting an educational video to educate families on how to reduce radiation from the cell phone. EDUKATIVNI VIDEO
Lower RF limits than ICNIRP- Power density limits 16% ICNIRP
Lower RF in Sensitive Areas
“Residential and commercial buildings, schools, maternity hospitals and hospitals are in the area of increased sensitivity and, as such, when measuring the radiation of electromagnetic field sources, they must meet the set requirements for the area of increased sensitivity
Brochure on Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation
“The need to promote preventative measures is recommended especially for children and young people. It is strongly recommended that:
- Avoiding excessive use of mobile devices (especially during intense growth and development),
- Avoiding sleeping next to the devices that are the source electromagnetic fields,
- avoid carrying such devices on a continuous basis,
- use of headphones while making calls,
- communicate by text message instead of telephone conversations when possible
Precautionary Policy on ELF-EMF
“For public spaces in general, limits for the electric and magnetic field identical to the reference levels in the EU recommendation may not be exceeded.
For ‘sensitive areas’ (homes, offices, schools, playgrounds, kindergartens, maternity wards, hospitals, homes for the elderly and disabled and tourist accommodations), the limits for the electric and magnetic field are 40% of the reference levels in the EU recommendation.”
