[Examples of intervention in cases of electromagnetic pollution in research laboratories]. / Esempi di intervento in casi di inquinamento elettromagnetico in laboratori di ricerca.

ABSTRACT

Two examples of technical measures taken to reduce levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in research laboratories are reported. The first intervention was aimed at avoiding undue exposure of operators. The case is of interest because of the special exposure conditions, which are not as well characterized as in industrial applications, and require ad hoc analyses, measurements, and mitigation actions. As shown by the second example, such actions also allow effective screening of experimental apparatuses, which is of special importance when high sensitivities are required.
