In electro smog research, in particular, internationally groundbreaking findings have been made over the last few years. However, even for experts, it is becoming ever more difficult to bring the new research results into experience that is relevant to the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as well (e.g. the achievements of the Nobel laureates for chemistry of 2003).

Out of the context of current findings arose the long-sought model for biological effects that are not related to heating of the tissue, rather to disorder due to outside signals - the basis for biophysical electromagnetic compatibility (EMC-B).

The speech gives a substantiated abstract of the latest international knowledge, in an easily understood manner. It deals with the topics:

oEveryday mobile radio and electronic radiation

oThe effect of technical electronic radiation on people

oTNO study and REFLEX study

oThe electromagnetic pulse

oNew, reliable methods for measuring non-thermal effects

oCurrent protection concepts

In the scope of his field chemistry and environmental protection, the lecturer Dr. Walter Medinger is also the only sworn and legally certified expert in Austria on the field of biological effects of electromagnetic fields and media. He headed the Bureau for Nature and Environmental Protection of state capital Linz for 12 years and was granted sabbatical for research purposes in August 2004 owing to his scientific results. Dr. Medinger is the scientific director of the International Institute for Research on Electromagnetic Compatibility (IIREC), member of the international workgroup Biophysik (Biophysics) and keeps in contact with leading scientists from around the world.
