Division of Electromagnetic Radiations (ESO)

Staff

• Dr. György THURÓCZY (Mr) - acting head of division
• Gábor JÁNOSSY (Mr) - advisor
• Zsuzsanna Reinhardt BENCSICSNE (Ms) - secretary
• Annamaria BRECH (Mrs) - researcher
• Iván GRESITS (Mr) - researcher
• Péter NECZ (Mr) - researcher
• Erzsébet SZALADJAK (Mrs) - researcher
• Zsuzsanna VECSEI, Msc (Ms) - researcher
• Zsuzsanna ZEITLER (Ms) - researcher

The tasks of the Division are:

Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation exposure measurement in the environment and workplaces, authorized certification of radiohygiene in the whole range of non-ionizing radiations from static (DC) electric and magnetic fields up to microwaves, including ELF and RF.

• MD 4.1: radiation safety measurements of RF and microwave transmitters
• MD 4.2: radiation safety measurements of RF and microwave equipments at workplaces
• MD 4.3: radiation safety measurements of 50 Hz magnetic fields in the environment
• MD 4.4: Radiation safety measurements of electric and magnetic field at workplaces in the 0-30 kHz frequency range
• MD 4.5: radiation safety measurements of non-ionizing radiation sources

• helps different authorities in decision making by providing expert opinions on the field of health effects of electromagnetic radiation.
• prepares regulations and decrees for the authorities and takes part in their execution.
• provides up-to-date information to the public about radiation safety and health effects of electromagnetic radiation.
• takes part in the activities of international scientific organizations.

The Division engages in extensive research work on the biological and health effects of non-ionizing radiations (NIR), to work out means and methods of protection against potential harmful effects. A research with such a broad spectrum is unique in a given discipline within the country and it is rather rare even by international standards. This explains the far-reaching contacts of the Division with other research institutes, both domestic and international, and also with international organizations such as ICNIRP, URSI, COSPAR, COST, etc. Dr. G. Thuroczy (Head of Dept.) is member of several international boards (WHO, CENELEC, IEC, EU, EBEA).

• Study of biological effects of exposure to modulated and CW (Continuous Wave) microwave radiation in human, in vitro, and in vivo experiments.
• Study of biological effects of exposure to intermediate frequency magnetic fields in vitro.
• Study of biological effects of exposure to ELF magnetic fields in vitro and in vivo.
• Study of biological effects of exposure to fields of MRI equipment in vitro.
