Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo has reached an agreement with France’s four main mobile network operators aimed at introducing stricter network radiation norms. The EMF (electro-magnetic frequency) exposure limit is to be lowered to 5V/m from the current 7V/m for indoor spaces, representing a 30 percent reduction at the frequency reference of 900 MHz.
Announcing the news, Hidalgo said that Paris was to become the most protective across all the main European cities in terms of exposure from wireless network antennas, setting a lower limit than the one adopted in Brussels (6V/m). The new agreement, expected to be approved by the municipality of Paris at the end of March, also includes plans for a new monitoring service to help measure EMF levels within buildings.

Dat Parijs ''the most protective'' wordt van alle Europese steden klopt niet. Salzburg en Wenen hebben strengere limieten evenals vele Oostbloksteden.
De resulterende limieten in Parijs zijn helemaal niet zo laag, maar de maatregel toont wel aan dat er daar, in navolging van de wetgeving in Frankrijk, aandacht aan het onderwerp wordt geschonken. Uiteraard zijn deze normen aanzienlijk strenger dan die in Nederland.
