Fact Sheets NIR provide scientific information on appliances emitting non-ionising radiation such as UV devices, lasers, microwave ovens, and electromagnetic fields. They address health risks, safety guidelines, legal regulations, and exposure mitigation to ensure informed use and protection.

Our faithful daily companion works only thanks to electromagnetic fields. Depending on the model, a greater or lesser part of these fields unfortunately does not reach the nearest mobile phone antenna but instead penetrates our body. This fact sheet informs you about the magnitude of this exposure and its possible health effects. It also provides tips on how to make calls with reduced radiation exposure. The best and most convenient way is using a headset, whether wired or Bluetooth. And avoid talking on the phone while driving!
