Question: I have moved to a new office. What worries me if the fact that the set up is such that the electricity plug main is very close to my head.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Hi

Although there is strong evidence of a relationship between leukemia and occupational exposure to EMF for many years, existing standards are not strict enough to protect themselves against an increased risk of cancer. Recent studies have shown an increase in the incidence of brain and auditory cancers only on the head, where individuals used their vocal cell.

Ok. Sorry i made this fuss about Greek and in the end it did not work. The answer you gave me in English is general.

1)Should I be worried about the mains plug next to me.
2) Should I do any immediate actions.


Thank you for you time.
