title: [Proposal for evaluating the psychological effects of exposure to non-ionizing radiation in the work environment].
abstract: Because of the growing national and international spreading of devices producing non-ionizing radiations, the AA consider the possibility of a deep study on some of the most precious and interesting effects, though controversial at the same time, described in occupationally exposed subjects: the psychological ones. Such a study, however, presents considerable difficulties because of the great deal of personal, domestic and social factors responsible for the arising of such a symptomatology. Therefore the AA suggest the use of a set of tests particularly aiming at leaving out such factors in the genesis of the psychological troubles; this set must be previously administered to a carefully selected sample in order to verify its accuracy, reliability, sensitivity and specificity, so that it will be possible to extend afterwards the research to larger samples of population.
