AbstractAbstract
[en] Anses was asked by Ademe in 2008, and by the Ministries of Consumer Affairs, Health and the Environment in 2011, to assess human exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). In response to Ademe's request, the Agency published a report in February 2009 presenting an analysis of existing and relevant methodologies for measuring the electromagnetic fields emitted by CFLs. A simple, rigorous measurement solution was proposed, with a view to carrying out a one-off campaign to assess exposure to these fields, at a distance of more than 30 cm from the lamps. Subsequent lamp measurement campaigns were carried out by the Scientific and technical center for building (CSTB). In January 2011, the Consumer Safety Commission (CSC) issued an opinion on compact fluorescent lamps, recommending that consumers avoid any prolonged exposure to these lamps within a proximity radius set at a minimum distance of 30 cm. In response to a request from the ministries in charge of consumer affairs, health and the environment, the Agency published a notice in 2013. This presents an analysis of existing and relevant methodologies for measuring the electromagnetic fields emitted by CFLs, particularly at less than 30 cm from the lamps. In its opinion, the Agency refers to the new provisions recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (Icnirp), which published new guidelines for the 1 Hz-100 kHz frequency range in 2010. Pending the results of future campaigns, Anses recommends limiting exposure to less than 30 cm from CFLs. Finally, the Anses also recommends that current regulations concerning exposure of the general population to electromagnetic fields emitted by equipment used in telecommunications networks or by radioelectric installations be extended to other sources of artificial emissions of non-ionizing radiation (from 0 to 300 GHz), and in particular to CFLs
