title: [Possible consequence on measures for the protection of electromagnetic fields exposed workers].
abstract: In this paper are discussed the possible consequences of the recent classification of Radiofrequencies as Group 2B IARC, and of the revision of the European Directive 2004/40/CE currently in progress, on measures for the protection of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields in Italy. No conclusion is possible regarding the revision of 2004/40/CE, until the definitive text is approved, and implemented in Italy. Balanced information on 2B IARC classification of RF (but also of ELF) should be included in information of workers on the occupational risk; furthermore, unnecessary exposure should be avoided, and exposure minimized, as part of general measures for protection.
