Salzburg Landtag EMF precautionary resolution (2007)
What it found
The 2007 record documents a proposed precautionary value, restrained WLAN use, public information, and continued exposure research; the Landtag adopted the committee request unanimously.
What it did not prove
It is a policy record, not a modern universal exposure limit or proof that a specific exposure causes a health outcome.
What critics say
Critics view Salzburg as too conservative and not aligned with mainstream international guideline reviews.
Why groups differ
Salzburg starts from a public-health precaution question, while ICNIRP and FCC limits start from established adverse-effect thresholds.
RADIHALT Takeaway
Why does practical shielding stay smart?
Salzburg helps explain why serious public bodies can choose a more precautionary policy than mainstream exposure limits. RADIHALT keeps the consumer guidance practical and measured.

- Explaining low-exposure targets
Evidence checklist
- Do not treat one regulator, country, or study group as the final answer on EMF exposure.
- Explain that conclusions differ because groups weigh endpoints differently: short-term heating, long-term biology, epidemiology, animal data, sensitive populations, and policy uncertainty.
- Use mainstream agencies only as one evidence layer, never as RADIHALT's editorial conclusion or as proof that a shielding product is unnecessary.
- When health or safety interpretation is discussed, pair mainstream context with both stricter national or precautionary frameworks and independent or peer-reviewed research.
