Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, as an association, we have again been invited to the annual sounding board meeting of the EMV Knowledge Platform (knowledgeplatform.nl<\/a>The platform aims to make scientific knowledge about electromagnetic fields (EMF) and health understandable and accessible to a wide audience.<\/p>\n

Our participation in the sounding board group has two goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Member Information: Many of our members, through their work with EMC issues, also receive questions about exposure to electromagnetic fields. By sharing knowledge and developments from the platform with you, we aim to contribute to providing well-founded, accessible, and scientifically sound answers.<\/li>\n
  2. Contributing to substantive discussions: With our technical expertise in measurement methods and mitigation of electromagnetic fields and grid pollution, we contribute to a balanced and factual dialogue within the sounding board group.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The meeting was attended by a wide range of organizations, including DNV, Antennebureau, TenneT, Stralingsbewust, UMC Utrecht, Stichting EHS, RIVM, Alliander, GGD, and the Ministries of EZK, VWS, I&W, and Defense.<\/p>\n

    An important development shared during the meeting is that the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (I&W) will now take on a coordinating role regarding electromagnetic fields. This should lead to clearer communication from the government on this topic.<\/p>\n

    Think tanks<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Think Tank on Network Pollution<\/u><\/p>\n

    The meeting began with an update from the Grid Pollution Think Group. Within this group, there is a reasonable consensus on the causes of grid pollution. However, differences of opinion regarding solutions remain, particularly between electrosensitive participants and technically oriented parties. Despite these differences, the collaboration is perceived as open and constructive.<\/p>\n

    Work is underway to add a series of Q&As on grid pollution to the website of the knowledge platform<\/a>. Eindhoven University of Technology will also contribute through additional research.<\/p>\n

    New think tanks<\/u><\/p>\n

    Due to the positive experiences with the Network Pollution Think Group, new think groups are being considered. The following criteria have been established for this purpose:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The topic fits within the mission and vision of the knowledge platform.<\/li>\n
    2. The right parties want to participate, so that a workable course of action can be created.<\/li>\n
    3. The participants have a constructive attitude.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Suggestions for new think tanks include:<\/p>\n
