Mobile phones and base stations
Mobile phones and base stations emit radiation on radiofrequency level. STUK measures the radiation caused by mobile phones.
Sun beds
Considering radiation, the most hazardous radiating equipment used at home are sun beds that may burn the skin.
Electromagnetic fields
Human body is exposed to low-frequency electric and magnetic fields due to electric currents from power lines.
Lasers
High power lasers are used e.g. in surgery and industry, but also for special effects in concerts and discos.
Regulation of mobile phones, sun beds and lasers
STUK regulates the safety of mobile telephones and sun beds and inspects high-power laser products which are used in public displays, before they are taken into use.
