Division of Electromagnetic Radiations (ESO)

Staff

• Gábor JÁNOSSY (Mr) - Head of Division
• Péter JUHÁSZ (Mr) - researcher
• Péter NECZ (Mr) - researcher
• Zsuzsa NÉMETH (Ms) - researcher
• Ágnes SZERENCSI (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.

• Study of biological effects of exposure to modulated and CW (Continuous Wave) microwave radiation in human, in vitro, and in vivo experiments.
• Local Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurement in tissue equivalent phantoms.
• Study of biological effects of exposure to ELF magnetic fields in vitro and in vivo.
