Abstract

The office electrical, computer or telecom equipment we use on a daily basis emits electromagnetic waves. These waves would have long-term and short-term effects on the human body. Since the direct proofs of cause and effect are still insufficient, a measurement study will be made of these materials in order to know the value of the magnetic field that each of them emits. A discussion of these values against standards’ will lead to the design of a NOCIONDE (application revealing HARMfulness of the WAVEs if it exists). Based on the precautionary principle, NOCIONDE is a web application or a tool for measuring the harmful nature of materials that offers recommendations to users to follow so that they will not be victimized one day if the evidence proves to be true. The aim of this study is to show the harmful character of computer equipment and telecommunications trough the measuring of the electromagnetic field values compared to the standard required by the World Health Organization. The materials’ classification is obtained. In addition, the results of NOCIONDE reveal clearly that the provisions concerning the telephone and other equipment emitting radio waves should be respected.
