Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs)
The industry recognises that some public concerns exist as to a possible connection between EMFs and health.
As a responsible industry, the sector is committed to providing customers, members of the public and the industry's employees with full and up-to-date information on the issue.
These pages explain the industry's position on this issue, the research supported by the sector into EMFs and who to contact for more information.
