As part of its health risk prevention policy, the Greater Paris South conurbation, which includes the towns of Vert-Saint-Denis, Corbeil-Essonnes, Saint-Pierre-du-Perray, Lieusaint and Evry-Courcouronnes, has decided to join the EXEM laboratory’s EMF Observatory.
Set up to monitor the maximum possible electromagnetic field levels, the EMF Observatory sensors are now visible in the urban landscape of a number of communes in the south of the Paris region. These broadband sensors, manufactured by the EXEM laboratory, measure exposure several times a day to the electromagnetic fields emitted by FM radio, DTT, Wi-Fi and all mobile telephony technologies, including 5G.
The sensors, which have been in operation for a few days now, are located in high-traffic areas so that measurements can be taken every two hours for periods of 6 minutes, day and night. The values recorded are published in real time on the www.emf-observatory.com website for easy consultation by the public. The history of the measurements can also be consulted to see how exposure levels have changed over time.
By opting for transparency when it comes to exposure to electromagnetic fields, Greater Paris South is joining the cities of Bordeaux, Marseille, Orléans, Nantes, Rennes, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Lille and Brussels, enabling everyone to monitor changes in the level of exposure to electromagnetic fields in the region over time.
