Abstract :
The aspiration of human population to live in a healthy condition, in which environmental pollution of any kind has been reduced to minimum, grows daily. Accordingly, it is necessary that relevant laws and regulations limit the exposure of human population to various side effects, which also include non-ionizing radiation. For that reason, in 2009 the Republic of Serbia has adopted the Law and a set of supporting regulations in order to protect human health and the environment from hazards due to exposure to non-ionized radiation. The aim of this paper is to survey the government policies of Serbia´s neighboring countries in regard to the protection from electromagnetic fields. This paper gives an overview of neighboring countries legislatives and regulations. The information for this paper was obtained by searching governmental websites, scientific publications and policy summaries by various organizations.
