title: [The problem of hygienic standardization of commercial electric and magnetic fields in Russia and other countries].
abstract: Review of standards show that many countries still have no hygienic regulations concerning the electric and magnetic fields of commercial frequencies. National standards have been developed by only a few countries. In a number of countries guidelines for protection from the electric fields have been elaborated with the magnetic component disregarded. National standards show a significant difference, too. In most cases the maximum admissible levels are approximate and ignore potential synergetic biological effects of the agents; many of them do not set an adequate coefficient of the hygienic margin or foresee possible carcinogenous risk.
